Award-winning author and CU-Boulder Professor Lucia Berlin will give a reading from her newest book, "Where I Live Now," on Friday, Oct. 1 at the Koenig Alumni Center.
Berlin wrote five books from 1983 to 1993, winning awards for two of them. Her 1991 effort, "Homesick," received the American Book Award and "Phantom Pain" was named one of the 10 best books of 1984 by the San Francisco Chronicle. She also was a recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and has won the Jack London Short Story Award.
In 1996, students rewarded her with a Teaching Recognition Award, given to faculty members for their ability to inspire and their willingness to work with students.
The reading will begin at 7:30 p.m. on the CU-Boulder campus and will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. Admission is free, courtesy of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Creative Writing Program.
