by Megan Sexton · February 06, 2013
For students/faculty of GSU, we’d like to let you know about an author reading taking place on Thursday, February 21. Colson Whitehead will be at GSU’s Troy Moore Library (9th floor GCB) giving a craft talk at 1:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. of the same evening, he’ll give a reading in the GSU Speakers Auditorium, followed by a Q&A and book signing in the Troy Moore Library.
The event is free, but because of space constraints, it is open only to GSU students, faculty, and staff, and you must reserve a free ticket here: http://colsonwhiteheadatgsu.eventbrite.com/
