2013 Writer as Witness Colloquium
Featuring: Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays
by Eula Biss
Where/When: Bender Arena on Tuesday, September 3, 8:00 p.m.
On behalf of the Department of Literature and the College Writing Program, we welcome you to American University. To set the stage for your first year here at AU, we have chosen a book that we call our "community text" for you to read before you arrive in August. You and your classmates will discuss the book and write about it in your College Writing or Honors English class. The College Writing Program and the Campus Store will also sponsor an essay contest to honor the best writing inspired by the community text.
We're delighted to announce this year's choice: Eula Biss' Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays. We will bring Biss to campus this fall for the sixteenth annual Writer as Witness Colloquium on Tuesday, September 3, at 8:00 p.m. in Bender Arena. She will address the American University community and meet with students and faculty to discuss the book.
