Jewish author to visit UNL, offers April 12 public reading April 12
Author Steve Stern will visit UNL April 11-13, and will give a public reading at 7 p.m. April 12 in the Great Plains Art Gallery.
The reading, co-sponsored by the Norman and Bernice Harris Center for Judaic Studies and the Department of English, is free and open to the public, and will be followed by a reception.
Stern is the author of several short story collections, including "The Wedding Jester" (winner of the National Jewish Book Award), "Isaac and the Undertaker's Daughter" (winner of a Pushcart Writer's Choice Award and an O. Henry Prize), and "Lazar Malkin Enters Heaven" (winner of the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish American fiction). In 2004, Stern received a Fulbright grant to teach at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel. He teaches creative writing at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
UNL English professor Gerry Shapiro will lead a discussion about Stern's short story, "Hyman the Magnificent" at 1:30 p.m. April 8 at Lincoln's South Street Temple, 2061 S. 20 St.
