Francios Camoin directs the creative writing program at the University of Utah. His collection of stories Why Men Are Afraid of Women won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. Earlier work, The End of the World Is Los Angeles, won the 1981 AWP Short Story Competition. The tie that binds men and women, that makes people do absurd things that they will very likely be sorry for later, is at the center of Camoin's work.

Dr. Camoin will read at 11 am., Thursday, October 8, in the Newport News Room, Webb Center.
