PA3 Exclusive Conversation with Professor Joyce Carol Oates -- Nov. 7th 7:30 pm

On Thursday evening, November 7, 2013 beginning at 7:30 pm, PA3 will host an exclusive "informal conversation" with author and long-time Princeton professor Joyce Carol Oates on her most recent novel, The Accursed, which is set in, and largely about, Princeton during the years 1905-1906. The book is based on remarkable research about a famous era, when Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Upton Sinclair Louis Armour, and other notables lived and interacted in town and on campus.

The event will be held at the Princeton home of Andrew (’66) and Anya (’73) Littauer, who have kindly agreed to host. Because this is a private home, space is limited and participation must be restricted to 20 PA3 members. We expect this event to be oversubscribed.

Registration is necessary and will close on Friday, October 18. If we have more registrants than 20, remaining spaces will be allocated by lottery, with priority for dues-paying members.

Reading the book in advance of the event is essential and participants are expected to arrive at the venue by 7:20 pm. Professor Oates will not give a formal lecture; the event will be more in the nature of a precept.

For registration, contact George L. Bustin ’70 at bustin@princeton.edu
