About

The Esther Freier Lectures in Literature Series presents bestselling authors Celeste Ng, author of “Little Fires Everywhere,” and Attica Locke, author of the "Highway 59" trilogy and a screenwriter who adapted “Little Fires Everywhere” for Hulu. Professor V. V. Ganeshananthan will moderate this conversation, a special event celebrating 25 years of the Freier series.

The Esther Freier Lecture Series has allowed the Department of English to present two author events a year, always free and always bringing to campus writers "whose work has made a significant contribution to humanistic inquiry."
