Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Marilynne Robinson will deliver a talk at Nicholls State University this Friday, Nov. 13, on “Is There One American Culture?” in the university’s Powell Auditorium.
The free lecture is open to the public and is part of the university’s Fletcher Lecture Series, celebrating its 26th anniversary.
A reception will be held in the Powell Auditorium lobby at 5:30 p.m. followed by the lecture at 6 p.m.
A question-and-answer session with the author is scheduled from 10:45 to 11:40 a.m. Friday in Le Bijou Theater in the student union building.
Robinson’s second book, “Gilead,” published in 2004, won the Pulitzer the following year. In the book, an elderly clergyman writes about his life and his relationship with his young son.
Robinson’s first novel, “Housekeeping,” which came out in 1981, was nominated for a Pulitzer and won the PEN/Hemingway award for best first novel. She has been a writer-in-residence at several universities.
