The reading begins at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The event is free and open to the public; all are encouraged to attend. <\/p>\n

Manuel Gonzales is the author of the novel \u201cThe Regional Office is Under Attack!\u201d and the acclaimed story collection \u201cThe Miniature Wife,\u201d winner of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction and the John Gardner Fiction Book Award. A graduate of the Columbia University Creative Writing Program, he teaches writing at the University of Kentucky and the Institute of American Indian Arts. He has published fiction and nonfiction in Open City, Fence, One Story, Esquire, McSweeney\u2019s Quarterly Concern, and The Believer. Gonzales lives in Kentucky with his wife and two children.<\/p>\n

Of Gonzales’s most recent book, The New York Times writes, \u201cGonzales\u2019s prose is crisp, but fittingly looping and parenthetical, often doubling back on itself to offer a slightly different interpretation. The point here seems to be that there is no such thing as a simple story, because all stories are about humans, and no human is entirely knowable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Writers in the Library is sponsored by the UT Libraries and the Creative Writing Program in association with the John C. Hodges Better English Fund. <\/p>\n
