Two authors will be visiting State College this month. First, Marilynne Robinson, author of Housekeeping, the 2009 Community Read book at Penn State, will be at the State Theatre on April 17th at 7:00 PM. If you read her book, I know you will be interested in hearing her take on what it all meant. This event is sponsored by the Penn State Center for American Literary Studies - http://www.cals.psu.edu.
