As part of the Creative Writing Series, award-winning author Anthony Doerr will be on campus reading from some of his works, answering questions, and holding a book signing. Doerr is the author of three books of fiction—The Shell Collector, About Grace, and Memory Wall—and the memoir Four Seasons in Rome. The winner of the prestigious Story Prize in 2010, his short stories have won the O. Henry Prize four times, and appeared in the Best American Short Stories. In The New York Times, Nancy Willard writes of Doerr: “His prose dazzles, his sinewy sentences blending the naturalist’s unswerving gaze with the poet’s gift for metaphor.”
