Next Wednesday, March 28th, at 7:30pm, the Gaines Center and UL Creative
Writing present, in collaboration with TNRS, readings by novelist Timothy
Schaffert and UL's own Emily Capettini. This event will take place at the
Gaines Center in Dupre Library (3rd floor).
Timothy Schaffert is the author of four novels: The Phantom Limbs of the
Rollow Sisters, The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God, Devils in the
Sugar Shop, and, most recently, The Coffins of Little Hope. His work has
been a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, Book Sense
and Indie Next picks from the American Booksellers Association, and a New
York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. His fifth novel, The Swan Gondola,
is forthcoming. He teaches at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and also
directs the (downtown) omaha lit fest.
Emily Capettini is a fiction writer from Batavia, IL, and is interested
primarily in experimental writing, French surrealism, the boundaries and
limitations of genre, and the narrative created by body art. Some of her
favorite authors include George Eliot, Frank O'Hara, Ray Bradbury,
Patricia C. Wrede, James Tiptree, Jr., George Saunders, and Kevin
Brockmeier. Emily's work has appeared in the anthology It's Your Rite!:
Girl's Coming of Age Stories and The Battered Suitcase.
This event is supported by SGA, the Lyceum Committee, the English
Department and Creative Writing Program of UL Lafayette, as well as by the
Gaines Center and TNRS. We are also deeply indebted to the aid and support
of Kate Bernheimer, our very fabulous writer-in-residence.
