During UNCW’s Writers' Week, and in the shadow of Wilmington’s annual reckoning with its violent past as demonstrated in the bloody events of 1898, John Jeremiah Sullivan will be in conversation with Nikole Hannah-Jones, one of Time Magazine’s most Influential People of 2021, named for her ability to shine a bright searchlight over American history.
“In her light,” Barry Jenkins wrote in September’s issue, “the wounds of America’s original and subsequent sins are laid bare.” Co-sponsored by UNCW Creative Writing and the Office of the Arts. Reserve tickets for the event.
Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street, will participate in a UNCW Writers’ Week panel discussion that explores the author’s literary choices and life experiences. This event is a part of the NEA Big Read Cape Fear. Reserve tickets for the event.
