PROGRAM AND HIGHLIGHTS
A TRIBUTE TO THE STATE’S LITERARY HISTORY AND TRADITION
Tuesday, September 17 at 1:00 p.m.
Distinguished author Ann McKinstry Micou comes to PSRC to discuss her annotated collection of fiction set in New Jersey. Her collection shines a light on the engrossing history and literary importance of New Jersey’s cities, suburbs, farms, and shore. She’ll discuss historical context, social interaction, landscapes — including the influence of Princeton University — from the very end of the 18th century to the early 21st century.
Ms. McKinstry Micou will highlight interesting facts about renowned authors. Some of them, such as Walt Whitman, were born or lived in New Jersey for a long time; while others, who are known for distinctive settings, have chosen to write about New Jersey. For example, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise is set in Princeton, and Stephen Crane, famous for The Red Badge of Courage, wrote mystery tales about the Jersey Shore.
This talk is perfect for literature lovers as well as though who have a curiosity about fiction set in their home state of New Jersey.
Registration required, no fee.
