Reinhardt's MFA Summer Reading Series: John Williams

Description

John Williams, June 20, 7-8:30 p.m., Hill Freeman Library & Spruill Learning Center

Recently retired from LaGrange College, John Williams is an author and playwright. He published his novel, “Lake Moon,” in 2003 by Mercer University Press. The novel delves into self-realization and self-destruction through the story of a band and its young members who are looking for recognition and fulfillment. “Lake Moon” is set in the 1960s and shows how its characters struggle with self-doubt, naivete and addiction while they pursue music.

Williams most recently started a blog called “Word from Elsewhere,” combining his innermost contemplation about the world through his perspective, with the accompaniment of his own photography.
