UNC Student Organization for Undergraduate Literature

"Award-winning author and scholar Reynolds Price will deliver the 2007 Thomas Wolfe Lecture at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, October 3 at the Carrol Hall Auditorium."

This is a great literary event right on campus, free and open to the public. Let's help make for a great turnout.

Another blurb about Price:

"Reynolds Price is an acclaimed novelist, biblical scholar, poet, and beloved teacher at Duke University. He has clearly had, by prescient luck, hard work, destiny, and maybe divine gift, an actual "Long and Happy Life," the title of his first novel in 1961.

After graduating from Duke in 1955, he went to Merton College as a Rhodes Scholar and wrote his thesis on Milton's Samson Agonistes. Later in life, he wrote, with his friend singer James Taylor, the lyrics to the songs "Copperline" and "New Hymn." In his role of biblical and ancient language scholar, he wrote his own translation and interpretation of the gospels of Mark and John. "
