Writers Reading Series: Clifford Garstang
The Writers Reading Series welcomes writer Clifford Garstang.
Garstang will read from his work and take questions from the audience.
Garstang is the author of three novels, "The Last Bird of Paradise," "Oliver’s Travels" and "The Shaman of Turtle Valley," and three story collections, "In an Uncharted Country," "House of the Ancients and Other Stories" and "What the Zhang Boys Know," which won the Library of Virginia Literary Award for Fiction. He is the co-founder and former editor of Prime Number Magazine and the editor of the anthology series "Everywhere Stories: Short Fiction From a Small Planet." A former international lawyer, he lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
The Writers Reading Series at AACC hosts an array of writers including poets, fiction writers, essayists, songwriters, memoirists, playwrights, journalists and screenplay writers. Guest writers read from their work and engage in discussion with the audience about things such as their creative process, the arc of their careers and advice for beginning writers.
Writers Reading events are sponsored by the School of Liberal Arts and are free to students, faculty, staff and members of the community.
