Tuesday, May 3, 2016 - 7:00pm

Tod Goldberg

Distinguished author and CSUN alumni Tod Goldberg is back this semester to give a reading from his new novel Gangsterland and to talk with students about writing, publication and the like. Some of you may remember that Tod dropped by last semester while he was on campus promoting UC Riverside’s MFA program. Students were so jazzed and encouraged by his talk, that I’ve invited him back for a formal reading. Essayist Jessica Ripka will also be reading. Come join us! Read more
