CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–February 19, 2016. Gina Frangello, award-winning author of ‘A Life in Men,’ will read at Roosevelt University on Monday, Feb. 29 as the University’s Creative Writing Program kicks off its spring reading series at 5 p.m. in Room 700 of the University’s Gage Building, 18 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago.
Chosen as an official book club selection for Nylon Magazine, The Rumpus and The Nervous Breakdown, and also optioned for a film adaptation by Universal Cable Productions/Denver & Deliah, ‘A Life in Men’ is a novel about a young woman’s adventures with men whose personalities and ways run the gamut – from funny to violent to quirky.
Audrey Niffenegger, author of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife,’ has called the book “terrific” and “a tender story of friendship” that is “intense and beautifully written.”
Co-founding editor of Other Voices Books, Frangello is currently at work on a new novel, ‘Every Kind of Waiting,’ which is set to be released by Counterpoint Press in the fall. She is currently a visiting writer and lecturer in Roosevelt’s Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program.
Sponsored by Roosevelt’s Creative Writing Program, the University’s literary magazine, Oyez Review, and Roosevelt’s Department of Literature and Languages, the reading is free and open to the public. Doors open for the reading at 4:30 p.m. and refreshments will be served.
