Spring 2012

Joyce Carol Oates

Elizabeth Boatwright Coker Visiting Writer Reading and Book Signing

April 27, 2012 3:00 pm, Twichell Auditorium Free Admission Joyce Carol Oates is one of America’s most

distinguished authors. John Gardner has called her “one of the greatest writers of our time.” In a work unlike anything she’s written before, Oates unveils a poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of her husband and its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A Widow’s Story illuminates one woman’s struggle to comprehend a life without the partnership that had sustained and defined her for nearly half a century.
