The Marygrove College Department of English and Modern Languages today announced that the award-winning mystery writer, novelist and social commentator Walter Mosley will be the twenty-second guest -- and the first mystery writer -- in its Contemporary American Authors Lecture Series. This annual event brings a nationally-known author to its campus for a morning class session with high school students and an evening reading for the general public.
Walter Mosley will deliver the Lillian and Donald Bauder Lecture at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 16, 2010, in Alumnae Hall on the Marygrove College campus. Afterward, he will sign copies of his works, which will be available for purchase. This event is free and open to the community.
Mr. Mosley has written thirty-two books and his work has been translated into twenty-one languages. Ten novels and one book of short stories feature private investigator Easy Rawlins, the first of which, Devil in a Blue Dress, was made into a movie starring Denzel Washington and Jennifer Beals.
To date, nearly 8,000 people have joined Marygrove at the Friday night public readings to hear outstanding writers share their work.
