| 'Trailer Girl' author to give reading, work with WSU students
Wednesday, February 06, 2002 4:41:11 PM | Category: None
What: Reading by New York writer Terese Svoboda, WSU writer-in-residence
When: 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22
Where: 209 Hubbard Hall, WSU campus
Phone: (316) 978-3130 (English department)
Cost: Free
Terese Svoboda, author of eight books of poetry, translation and fiction who is based in New York City, will spend a month as writer-in-residence in Wichita State’s English department.
Svoboda will work with students in WSU’s creative writing program for a month, starting Feb. 11. While at WSU, she’ll give a free, public reading of her book, “Trailer Girl and Other Stories,” at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, in 209 Hubbard Hall.
“Trailer Girl,” which is Svoboda’s seventh book, has been called “piercing, unprettified prose.” Written in nontraditional prose, the book is a collection of 15 short stories and one novella that was called “disturbing, edgy and provocative” by Book magazine. The novella consists of 31 short chapters, some no more than one or two paragraphs long, that tell the story of a nameless woman living in a trailer park who meets a wild girl living in a nearby gully.
Svoboda’s eighth book, “Treason,” will be published this year. She’s won numerous awards and fellowships and is an 11-time nominee for the Pushcart Prize, which recognizes the best work published in literary magazines over the course of a year.
Born and raised in Nebraska, she earned degrees from the University of British Columbia and Columbia University. After traveling around the world working in visual anthropology, she worked as a producer on a five-part film series at Columbia’s Translation Center and then a 13-part PBS series on American poetry.
