Library Endowment's Annual "Speaking Volumes" to Feature Highly-Regarded Young Author - April 15, 2010

This year's program will take place on Friday, April 15, 2010, at 4:30 PM in the Program Room of the Main Library, at 13 S. San Antonio Road, in Los Altos.  The public is invited, and admission is free.

Skip Horack is the "Speaking Volumes" author this year.  If you've never heard of Skip Horack, there's a good reason—he's very new to his trade.  A lawyer turned writer, he came to Stanford four years ago as a fellow in Stanford's Creative Writing Program.  Now, he has an award-winning collection of short stories under his belt (The Southern Cross) and has just published his first novel, The Eden Hunter.  While he's still with the Creative Writing Program, his role is now that of lecturer rather than student!

Those who love well-crafted prose—be they avid readers or students hoping to improve their own writing skills—are encouraged to attend the April 15 event.  Skip Horack plans to discuss the origins of the ideas for his writings, and how he develops his inspirations into completed works.
