Check out Oklahoma's upcoming literary events:
November
9 (5-7pm, Borders Books, Norman): A book signing in Norman with some of
the authors and editors of "Voices from the Heartland," including
former Cherokee principal chief Wilma Mankiller, First Lady Kim Henry,
novelist Billie Letts, and prima ballerina Maria Tallchief. The authors
share their personal reflections on finding balance as they look back
on defining moments in their lives, mull over what they wish they had
learned sooner, and convey the wisdom they've unearthed on their
journeys thus far.
November 12 (7:30pm; Henry J. Freede Wellness
and Activity Center, Oklahoma City University): "An Evening with Edward
Albee" (Albee is the Tony Award-winning and Pulitzer Prize author of
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"). This event is free. NW 27th St. and
Florida Ave.
Hope that you guys can take advantage of some ot these oppotunities.
Also (shameless plug), I was recently coaxed into being an officer in
the WLT Book Club. The book club meets once a month and discusses a
book decided upon by the officers. Last month we discussed Eat, Pray,
Love by Elizabeth Gilbert over coffee at Cafe Plaid (it was great).
This month our book is Norweign Wood by Haruki Murakami, and we will be
meeting on Thursday Nov. 29th, 8 PM at Cafe Plaid (on campus corner).
We have a small collection of books in the WLT offices (Monnet Hall
room 110) for students (free of charge- who can pass up a free book?).
If you are interested in participating in the club, stop by and pick up
a book!
Also, check out the WLT Book Club facebook group. That's our primary way of exchanging information.
Thanks for listening.
