Author’s Night
at Montage
Author’s Night is a free event opened to the public, generously
sponsored by the Friends of the Greenville Public Library. Held
at Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville where delicious food & drink
can be purchased, the evening is always extra-festive with live music
by the cool J.R. Price and Bill Westfall. Doors open at 6:00 and
the program starts at 7:00.
The dates for March and April have been changed so as not to conflict
with Mainstreet’s “First Fridays.“ March 10th features Lee Martin
and April 14th Vivian Blevins. We can’t wait to meet these
interesting, accomplished, award-winning writers and hear their stories.
Lee Martin has a fabulous bio on his website leemartinauthor.com along
with info on his books, a delightful blog, and links to interesting
interviews. It’s impossible to do justice in a short article to
this Pulitzer Prize Finalist author of five novels, two memoirs, and a
short story collection. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared
in all the quality publications and he’s received many major awards and
fellowships. Lee teaches in the MFA Program at The Ohio State
University where he was the winner of the 2006 Alumni Award for
Distinguished Teaching.
Lee is originally from southeastern Illinois but lived as a “nomad in
academia for a good while, living and teaching (and always writing!)”
in various states. He now lives in Columbus, Ohio. His favorite quote
about writing, which he passes on in each class he teaches, comes from
Isak Dinesen who said, “Write a little every day, without hope, without
despair.” Don’t miss the chance to meet and chat with this
distinguished and humorous author!
