Blue Ox Part 3: Emma Straub & Ben Thompson


Above: Michael Fusco has done it again with this beautiful poster of the third Blue Ox reading..

We, the official first-person plural consciousness of the University of Wisconsin Program in Creative Writing, are pleased as punch to announce the third and final Blue Ox Reading for the 2007-2008 academic year. And we've saved some doozies for last.

Join us on Tuesday, December 4th at 7:30 p.m. at Avol's Books as MFA fiction writers Emma Straub and Ben Thompson read.

There will be laughter and tears, gasp-enducing moments of tension and guffaw-causing jocularity. There will also be a gigantic fireworks display following the reading. Seriously, we have purchased (perhaps frivilously) tens of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, and we're going to set them off in celebration shortly after the final sentence is read . We'll also have kittens. And a dinosaur. A real one.*





* note: the fireworks/kittens/dinosaur stuff is untrue. Also, dinosaurs are extinct.
