FESTIVAL UPDATE

Next Saturday, March 12, Hollins College will host its 34th Literary Festival. As regulars already know, things begin at 9:30 a.m. with registration in the Green Drawing Room. The day's schedule then proceeds with military precision to the morning readings at 10:30. Mary Gaitskill, author of "Two Girls, Fat and Thin," will read from her fiction. She'll be followed by a familiar face, Henry Taylor reading from his Pulitizer Prize-winning poetry. Then in the afternoon, Elizabeth Dewberry Vaughn will read her fiction, possibly from her delightfully titled novel, "Many Things Have Happened Since He Died And Here Are the Highlights ..."

The day winds down with the ever-popular poetry panel - R.H.W. Dillard, Jeanne Larsen and the aforementioned H.T. - and a reception upstairs in the Dana Lounge. There is no admission charge, and the modestly priced lunch in the Moody dining room is always a bargain.
