I just found out that Marilynne Robinson, Pulitzer-prize winning author of Gilead, will be speaking in Houston at Houston Baptist University on Thursday, May 25th. I’m not sure how I’ll manage it, but I really want to hear her speak. I loved Gilead, and I’ve been meaning to read her other novel, Housekeeping for a while now.
Several of the other speakers and concerts and exhibits at the event at HBU called Credo: The Arts as Expressions of Belief sound interesting, but I mostly want to hear Ms. Robinson.
Oh, and it’s free.
You should definitely go and report back on how it was.
