passing on this request from Professor Maurya Simon of Creative Writing for
audience members for a series of eminent nonfiction writers who will be doing
readings. I encourage everyone to consider attending. Any and all of these
readings will serve for 280 credit for graduate students.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

search<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Dear Steve,<BR><BR>I wanted to let you know that
we're currently conducting a search for an Assoc. Professor in Creative
Nonfiction, and we'd be delighted if you'd like to attend any of the events
being scheduled for their visits. We've a great short list of eminent
writers, and I very much hope that faculty and students in English will be able
to attend their readings. Here's the list: <B>David Bradley</B>,
<B>Rigoberto Gonzalez</B>, <B>Tom Lutz</B>, <B>Mat Johnson</B>, and <B>Michael
Stephens</B>. <BR><BR>We're worried about not getting a respectable
audience for the reading by <STRONG>Prof. Bradley</STRONG>, since we don't have
a CRWT class meeting that time that we can bring to it (as we're doing with the
other candidates), so I wondered if you might know of anyone teaching a course
related to African-American literature who might be willing to bring their class
to this event? It's scheduled for <U><STRONG>Tuesday, Feb. 22 from 10-11
am in 1500 HMNSS</STRONG></U>. I don't know if you're familiar with
Bradley's "The Chaneysville Incident," but I think it's one of the great
American post-war novels.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR>Maurya</BODY></HTML>
