On Thursday, December 6th at 7 p.m., the Joynes Reading Room will co-host a reading by novelist and memoirist Paul Lisicky. Paul Lisicky is the New Writers Project’s Fall 2018 Visiting Writer and the author of The Narrow Door (a New York Times Editors’ Choice), Unbuilt Projects, The Burning House, Famous Builder, and Lawnboy. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, Conjunctions, Fence, The New York Times, Ploughshares, Tin House, and in many other magazines and anthologies. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, he has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the James Michener/Copernicus Society, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, where he has served on the Writing Committee since 2000. The Joynes Room has a few copies of Unbuilt Projects, which we will give away (for free) to honors students who plan to attend the event—interested students should inquire in person at the front desk of the Joynes Reading Room (CRD 007).
