The Stokes Center for Creative Writing and the department of English at the 秘密研究所 will present visiting writer Adam Prince reading from his works on Monday, Oct. 30.

The 4 p.m. event, which will be held in the Terrace Room of the Student Center, is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available.

Prince鈥檚 award-winning fiction has appeared in 鈥淭he Missouri Review,鈥� 鈥淭he Southern Review鈥� and 鈥淣arrative Magazine,鈥� among others. His first book, a short story collection, called 鈥淭he Beautiful Wishes of Ugly Men,鈥� is now available from Black Lawrence Press.

Acclaimed writer David Rice said on his writing website, TheRumpus.net, that 鈥渢he eleven stories in Adam Prince鈥檚 debut collection feel lived rather than written.鈥�

鈥淟ike stories told by strangers in bars when you鈥檙e both drunk, their core tragedies and ironies achieve a casual understated universality,鈥� Rice added.

Prince is currently at work on a novel and several screenplays.

Born and raised in Southern California, Prince earned his bachelor of arts degree from Vassar College, a master of fine arts degree from the University of Arkansas and a doctorate from the University of Tennessee. He served as the 2012-2013 Tickner Fellow at the Gilman School in Baltimore.
