Fiction Dinner with Helon!

Thanks to 2nd years Norah and Kirsten we've got one more fiction dinner before the semester's end! This one will be Helon's first.

When: Sunday May 3rd 5pm
Where: Norah's house, directions on listserv

We're limited to 20 people on this one, so send Norah an email to rsvp. We'll keep a waiting list...if you are past the 20th person, we'll add people off the waiting list in case someone cancels.

And as always this will be potluck, so figure out what you'll bring...

Congratulations to faculty member Helon Habila...

for being recently awarded with the 2008 Library of Virginia Award for his novel Measuring Time.

Our GMU MFA family had a good turnout: the list of nominees also included fellow faculty members
Alan Cheuse for The Fires,
Susan Shreve for her memoir Warm Springs,

AND

GMU MFA alum Dallas Hudgens for Season of Gene.

Congrats all!
