The Friends of Dimond Library at UNH will host the second in a series
of one-on-one conversations with authors who have ties to the Granite
State Sunday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. when local author Rebecca Rule
interviews Charlotte Bacon before a live audience.
Bacon has taught fiction writing at UNH since 1998, the same year
her collection of stories, A Private State, was awarded the PEN/Hemingway
Award for First Fiction. Her first novel, Lost Geography, was chosen
as one of the best first novels by the Washington Post in 2000 and
included as one of the 10 best first novels in Book Lust by Nancy
Perl. She published her second novel, There is Room for You, to
critical acclaim earlier this year.
In the style of Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio, Rule will
serve as host and interviewer for The Authors’ Series from
Dimond Library at the University of New Hampshire.
The interview will be recorded by New Hampshire Public Television
for future broadcast. There will be an opportunity for members of
the audience to ask questions.
The program is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
To reserve a space, e-mail nh.authors@unh.edu
or call (603) 862-1540 by Jan. 26. Light refreshments will be served
after the interview and both authors will be available to sign their
books.
Three times a year The Authors’ Series features an author
who lives, summers, teaches or was born in New Hampshire. The next
featured author will be Donald Hall on Sunday, May 1.

“This series is an opportunity for us to highlight Dimond
Library, a great state resource that belongs to students, faculty,
staff, alumni, and the people of the state of New Hampshire, and
to showcase the incredible talent of New Hampshire authors,”
says University Librarian Claudia Morner. “We had a great
response to our first author, Donald Murray, and look forward to
continuing the series.”
