William T. Vollmann

Join us in welcoming William T. Vollmann, a prolific and acclaimed writer whose fiction and nonfiction explores some of the most challenging issues of our times: war, imperialism, poverty, and prostitution, just to name a few. His novel Europe Central was the winner of the 2005 National Book Award for fiction, and his most recent work, The Dying Grass (2015), extends his Seven Dreams series about the encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples in North America. Vollmann will be interviewed by Brian G. McHale, Distinguished Humanities Professor of English at Ohio State University.

Selections from the Vollmann literary and photographic archives at Ohio State are currently on view at Thompson Library.

Cosponsored by Ohio State’s University Libraries and Department of English.
