Neilly Series Lecture: Brit Bennett
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
November 9, 2017 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Join us for a lecture by Brit Bennett, writer, novelist, and one of
the most sought-after young commentators on race in America
today. Her lecture will focus on her recent novel, The Mothers, an
emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and
ambition. She will examine the roles demanded of young black
women and men, and the hypocrisy sometimes inherent in their
community’s expectations.
Bennett graduated from Stanford University and later earned her
MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan. Her work was
featured in The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, the
Paris Review, and Jezebel. She is one of the National Book
Foundation’s 2016 '5 Under 35' honorees.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is
available in the Library Lot. For more information, call 585-2754461.
Sponsored by Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and
the River Campus Libraries.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel, <i>The Mothers</i>, is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition.</p>
<p>By employing entrancing, lyrical prose, <i>The Mothers</i> asks whether a “what if” can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.</p>
<p>Bennett graduated from Stanford University and later earned her MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan, where she won a Hopwood Award in Graduate Short Fiction as well as the 2014 Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers. Her work was featured in <i>The New Yorker</i>, the <i>New York Times Magazine</i>, the <i>Paris Review</i>, and <i>Jezebel</i>. She is one of the National Book Foundation’s 2016-5 Under 35 honorees.</p>
