Reynolds Price Reads at Perkins Library on Tuesday, 22 March

Tuesday, 22 March, 7:00 p.m. Perkins Library Rare Book Room
Reynolds Price, James B. Duke Professor of English, will read his translation of the Gospel of Mark, which is from his book entitled Three Gospels. In a New York Times review of the book, Robert Alter wrote, "Mark exerts a particular magnetism on Mr. Price because, like the writers of the Hebrew Bible whom Mark kept in mind, he conveys his urgency not through exhortation or theological argumentation but through the terse telling of the tale." Sponsored by the Duke University Libraries. The reading lasts about 90 minutes. Parking for the event has been reserved on the quad in front of the Duke Chapel. LIMITED SEATING
