Critically acclaimed American author Dorothy Allison will be at the Washington State University Pullman campus for a literary reading and book signing at 7:30 p.m. on March 30 in Kimbrough Concert Hall.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is presented by the WSU Department of English 2004-2005 Visiting Writer’s Series with support from the Visual, Performing and Literary Arts Committee.
Allison is known for her brutal honesty and is a teller of forbidden stories. Through her fiction, poetry and essays she provides a portrait of life on the fringe of society.
Some of Allison’s works include: “The Women Who Hate Me”; “Trash”; “Bastard Out of Carolina”; “Skin: Talking About Sex, Class and Literature”; “Two or Three Things I Know for Sure”; and “Cavedweller”.
This event is part of VPLAC’s 2004 – 2005 Series “Crossing Boundaries.”
