Author Joe Wenderoth will give a local reading for Grand Valley State University’s Visiting Writers Series on Monday, March 19, at 7 p.m. in the Sherman Van Solkema Recital Hall, Performing Arts Center, Allendale Campus.
Wenderoth, who teaches in the creative writing program at the University of California, Davis, is the author of essays, two poetry collections, Disfortune and It Is if I Speak, and the novel, Letters to Wendy’s.
Letters to Wendy's is an outrageous, tragic, genre-bending novel written over the course of a year on comment cards from the fast-food chain restaurant Wendy's. Through the letters, the book traces a year in the life and thoughts of an unnamed narrator obsessed not only by Biggies and Frosties, but also by consumerism, pornography, and mortality.
For more information on Wenderoth’s visit call (616) 331-3601.
