Connecticut icon and best-selling author Wally Lamb will visit Eastern Connecticut State University on March 9 for a lecture titled Connecticut on My Mind, as well as a reception and book signing. The author of such books as The Hour I First Believed, She’s Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True will speak in the Concert Hall of the Fine Arts Instructional Center (FAIC) at 5:30 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session.
A reception and book signing will take place in the FAIC foyer from 7-8 p.m.
The lecture is free and open to the public, but seating is limited due to COVID-19 and event registration is required. Masking is required inside the venue.
The lecture will also livestream on the University’s YouTube channel at 5:30 p.m. on March 9.
Lamb’s visit is in coordination with Eastern’s “Big Read” program to present stories and bring writers to campus who focus on themes of human interconnectedness.
