You're invited to join EHUM and the Creative Writing Reading Series for a reading from Molly Lynch on Wednesday, October 11th in 232 Decio English Commons. This reading is free and open to the public.
Publisher's Weekly called Molly Lynch’s first novel, The Forbidden Territory of a Terrifying Woman, "[A] spectacular debut . . . Writing in tight, precise prose, Lynch weaves environmental disaster, feminist theory, and classical myth into a mesmerizing tale. Lovers of Margaret Atwood and Lauren Groff will be among the many enthralled." Lynch has recently published fiction in Granta, and creative nonfiction in The Point. Her stories have been featured in the top literary magazines in Canada, where she grew up, and where she has been a finalist for the National Magazine Awards. Molly lived and worked in Ireland and different parts of Europe before studying literature in Montreal. She also traveled extensively through the Middle East and moved to Baltimore where she earned an MFA from the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars. She now teaches creative writing at the University of Michigan.
