Millet to Read at ECU’s Contemporary Writers Series

ECU’s Contemporary Writers Series is proud to announce that the award-winning novelist Lydia Millet will be reading from her work on Wednesday, October 18th at 5:30 pm in Speight Auditorium, located on the 2nd floor of the Jenkins Fine Art Center at East Carolina University (room 1220). A Q&A and book signing will follow; the event will be free and open to the public.

Millet is the author of over a dozen novels and collections of stories, including Dinosaurs (2022) and A Children’s Bible (2020), a New York Times “Best 10 Books of 2020” selection, shortlisted for the National Book Award. The Wall Street Journal wrote that to call the novel “a generational allegory seems like an understatement.” In 2019, Millet’s collection of short fiction Fight No More received an Award of Merit from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and her 2009 collection, Love in Infant Monkeys, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010.
