Thursday evening we will celebrate literature on campus. I will present the second annual UW-Whitewater Chancellor’s Regional Literary Award to A. Manette Ansay. Manette is the author of numerous novels including an Oprah selection “Vinegar Hill” and her most recent “Blue Water.” She also wrote an amazing memoir called “Limbo” detailing her debilitating illness that left her in incredible pain and unable to walk.
Copies of her books will be available to purchase. Manette will be happy to autograph them.
Manette writes a lot about rural Wisconsin and has the ability to capture its people and places. A free reading will be held at 7 pm in the Kachel Center of the Center for the Arts. I hope you’ll join us as we celebrate Manette’s work and the love of literature.
