Friday Colloquium
08/30/2024
Dr. Lamar Nisly will discuss his summer research.
Same author, different genre
Dr. Lamar Nisly, professor of English at Bluffton University, will present the Colloquium, “Late Style, New Starts and Malamud’s ‘God Grace’” at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall.
During the presentation, Nisly will discuss the first step in what may become a book project, funded by a BURC grant.
Nisly is seeking to understand why authors write a late novel in a very different genre than was their typical approach. This summer, Nisly explored this question by researching and writing an essay about Bernard Malamud and his last published novel, God’s Grace, a post-apocalyptic fable that includes talking animals.
This event is free and open to the public.
