Novelist Dan Pope Gave Reading Jan. 26
Novelist Dan Pope gave a reading at Westminster School Jan. 26 as part of the Friday Nights at Westminster series. The student reader was Fourth Former Shaunna Walsh.
Pope is the author of “In the Cherry Tree” (2003) and “Housebreaking” (2015), a work The New York Times Book Review called “a heartfelt chamber piece of flawed personalities, calamitous decisions and unexpected moments of grace.” His short stories have appeared in many journals, including Crazyhorse, Harvard Review, Iowa Review, McSweeney’s (No. 4), Shenandoah, Gettysburg Review and others.
Pope is a graduate of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, where he attended on a Truman Capote Fellowship. He is a winner of the Glenn Schaeffer Award from the International Institute of Modern Letters, and grants in fiction from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts.
His Westminster reading was free and open to the public and was held in the Gund Reading Room of Armour Academic Center.
The event was made possible by generous grants from the Ford-Goldfarb English Department Enrichment Fund and the Patrina Family Fund.
