| Event Name: |
Distinguished Writers Series |
| Event Description: |
A writer of compelling fiction, Elise Blackwell was raised in southern Louisiana, the setting of her novel, "The Unnatural History of Cypress Parish," a coming-of-age story told against the backdrop of the great flood of 1927. Blackwell's hauntingly beautiful first novel, "Hunger," which focuses on the fate of a pair of husband and wife botanists during the cataclysmic siege of Leningrad in 1941, was cited by the "Los Angeles Times" as one of the best books of 2003. Also, her novel "Grub," a "funny and compassionate" retelling of George Gissing's classic satire on the literary marketplace, was a BookSense pick in 2007. Currently a member of the English faculty at USC-Columbia, Blackwell has a new book, tentatively entitled "An Unfinished Score," coming out in the spring of 2010. |
