Author Nicholas Delbanco will read at Williams College02:11PM / Tuesday, September 22, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Author Nicholas Delbanco will hold a fiction reading on Monday, Sept. 28, at 4 p.m. in Griffin Hall, room 3 on the Williams College campus.
The event is free and open to the public.
Delbanco is the author of more than 20 books of fiction and non-fiction including "The Countess of Stanlein Restored " and "The Lost Suitcase: Reflections on the Literary Life." His forthcoming non-fiction book titled "Lastingness: The Art of Old Age" will be published in 2010.
As a writer, he has been called "...as fine a pure prose stylist as any writer living" (Chicago Tribune Book World). John Updike has said that Delbanco, "wrestles with the abundance of his gifts as a novelist the way other men wrestle with their deficiencies."
As editor he has compiled the work of, among others, John Gardner and Bernard Malamud. Director of the MFA Program as well as the Hopwood Awards Program at the University of Michigan, he has served as chair of the Fiction Panel for the National Book Awards, received a Guggenheim Fellowship and, twice, a National Endowment for the Arts Writing Fellowship.
The New York Times wrote about Delbanco, "An excellent writer is among us, and if we neglect him, we shall have to apologize to posterity." Frederick Busch, author of "The Night Inspector" praised Delbanco saying, "Delbanco teaches as he writes, and he does so grippingly."
Delbanco is the Robert Frost Distinguished University Professor of English. On the occasion of his retirement in 2002, Stephen Kinzer of The New York Times noted that Delbanco "has had more than 1,000 students and through them has helped shape modern American literature." |
