The FGCU Library and the Department of Language and Literature are proud to announce that we will be hosting a book release party for author Nathan Hill’s new novel, Wellness. This event will take place on September 21st at 6:00 p.m. with light hors d’oeuvres included.
Free tickets are available at nathan-hill-fgcu.eventbrite.com, but seats are limited so make sure to grab yours soon! Nathan Hill will be reading from and signing copies of Wellness, which will be available for purchase.
Hill’s newest novel, Wellness, showcases a young college couple making their way through the 90s underground art scene in Chicago. Fast forward 20 years and Jack and Elizabeth are facing a lull in their marriage and are forced to work as individuals to face their demons or risk losing each other. This novel has been deemed “A hilarious and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astounds in its breadth and intimacy,” by Bri Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half.
November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). During this time, people all over the world set a goal to write 50,000 words of a new novel in 30 days.
Since 1999, NaNoWriMo has given both writers and non-writers the opportunity to unleash their creative minds through a fun and empowering writing challenge.
Throughout November, and in collaboration with the Department of Language & Literature, the library invites you to take up NaNoWriMo at our weekly two-hour write-ins. These write-ins might possibly include writing prompts, writing sprints, raffles and snacks.
This event is a perfect opportunity for any and all students to learn some fun techniques that will aid in your tackling of NaNoWriMo.
Every event will be held at the Data Visualization Wall on the 1st Floor of Library West. Please bring your laptop, notebook, or whatever you need to write! Registering on Eagle Link is encouraged, but not required.
