USI Southern Indiana Reading Series to present Ghassan Zeineddine

The University of Southern Indiana's Southern Indiana Reading Series will present a reading, Q&A and book signing by author Ghassan Zeineddine at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, October 24 in the Griffin Center. This event is open to the public at no charge.

Zeineddine was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in the Middle East. He is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Oberlin College, and co-editor of the creative nonfiction anthology Hadha Baladuna: Arab American Narratives of Boundary and Belonging.

"Zeineddine's reading will offer the audience the chance to hear what The Washington Postcalls 'witty and thoughtful'--tragicomic stories about Arab American characters in Dearborn, Michigan," says Dr. Casey Pycior, Associate Professor of English. "It's sure to be an engaging event."

The Southern Indiana Reading Series brings award-winning, nationally celebrated authors to USI to share their work and talk with students. The Series showcases some of the most exciting authors writing today and aims to inspire both the University of Southern Indiana and the Evansville communities.
