The Write Thing Reading Series at Medaille College continues on Thursday, January 28, 2010 with Ted Pelton at 7 p.m. in the Huber Hall Library at Medaille’s Buffalo Campus at Parkside and Rt. 198 in Buffalo.
In addition to being a professor in Medaille’s Humanities Department, Dr. Ted Pelton is the author of four books of fiction, most recently the novella, “Bartleby, the Sportscaster.” He has received both National Endowment for the Arts and Isherwood Fellowships for his fiction writing, and was selected as Best Fiction Writer in Western New York by Buffalo Spree magazine in 2006. His stories have been published in numerous venues, including Del Sol Review, Fiction International, Brooklyn Rail, and the anthologies The Art of Friction and Online Writing: The First Ten Years.
The Write Thing Reading Series is the premiere visiting artist series among Buffalo’s educational institutions. Each semester, Medaille invites poets and fiction writers to campus for readings. Students at Medaille have the unique chance to meet up close and personal with Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award finalists, Guggenheim Fellowship recipients, and some of the most renowned international writers of today – as well as up-and-coming younger writers.
