L. Annette Binder, writer of the award-winning collection of short stories, “RISE,” will meet SUNY Fredonia students and give a craft talk on Thursday, March 6, as part of the Mary Louise White Visiting Writers Series.
The craft talk will begin at 4 p.m. and will be followed by a reading from her book at 7 p.m., in McEwen Hall Room 202. The free event will include a question and answer session and book signing.
“RISE” won Sarabande Book's 2011 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction. Ms. Binder’s work has recently appeared or forthcoming in The Pushcart Prize XXXVI, The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories, One Story, American Short Fiction, The Southern Review, Third Coast, and many other notable short story publications, as well as performed on National Public Radio’s “Selected Shorts.” She has earned degrees from Harvard, Berkeley, and the Programs in Writing at the University of California, Irvine.
Each semester, the English department and the Mary Louise White Visiting Writers Series, established through the Fredonia College Foundation, bring two writers to campus. The series provides the SUNY Fredonia campus and the local community a chance to meet and interact with contemporary writers and their work.
