English Reading Series: Doug Thayer

This week, the English Department Reading Series will feature Doug Thayer, a long time professor in the English department and author of the new memoir Hooligan: A Mormon Boyhood. This book has gotten glowing reviews in everything from the Deseret News to Orson Scott Card (" One of the finest writers the LDS Church has yet produced has now turned his talent to his own growing-up years. Entertaining, wise—and it's even true.") Doug will be reading from his memoir and also taking questions from the audience.

The reading will be Friday at noon in the BYU library auditorium. There will be bagels afterward.
