Anthony Varallo—winner of both the Drue Heinz prize (University of Pittsburgh Press) and the John Simmons Award (University of Iowa Press)—will read in Johnston Hall at 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 13.
What, you say? Just the two nationally-recognized, hyper-competitive prizes? No worries: his third book of stories will be out from Northwestern University Press/Triquarterly Books in 2013.
Don’t know how to say it more clearly than this: nobody wins these prizes. Surely nobody wins them both. So, you know: come see Anthony Varallo. He’s smart. And funny. And writes some shiny, shiny sentences.
