Award-winning Nonfiction Writer to Give Reading
Award-winning nonfiction writer Jane Brox will give a reading at Westminster Oct. 11 as a part of the school’s “Friday Nights in Gund,” a series of readings, lectures and concerts held at Westminster during the academic year. The student reader will be Sixth Former Taite Puhala, the winner of the Brian Ford Writing Prize and the Johns Hopkins Creative Minds Poetry Prize.
Brox’s most recent book, “Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light,” was named one of Time magazine’s Top 10 Nonfiction Books of 2010. Her other books include “Clearing Land: Legacies of the American Farm,” “Five Thousand Days Like This One,” which was a 1999 finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in nonfiction, and “Here and Nowhere Else,” which won the L.L. Winship/PEN New England Award. She has received the New England Book Award for nonfiction, and her essays have appeared in many anthologies.
Brox’s Westminster School reading is free and open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m. in the Gund Reading Room of the Armour Academic Center. Refreshments will be served after the presentation and ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to the Armour Academic Center.
