Dakota Midday: Author Brian Evenson

The Department of English and Astrophil Press at the University of South Dakota present award winning author Brian Evenson as part of Astrophil Press' launch party.  Evenson will give a craft talk at 2:00 p.m. in the Al Neuharth Media Center Conference Room and provide a reading at 5:00 p.m. in the Muenster University Center (Room 211) on Friday.  Evenson's fiction, often described as literary minimalism drawing inspiration from horror, detective fiction, science fiction and continental philosophy, makes frequent use of dark humor and often features characters struggling with the consequences of knowledge.  He has also written non-fiction and translated several books by French-language writers into English.
