An Evening with Geraldine Brooks
The Arkansas Center for the Book at the Arkansas State Library presented an evening with award-winning author Geraldine Brooks on Sunday, November 13, 2011, at the Fayetteville Public Library. Brooks discussed her Civil War themed novel March, which won her the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction in 2006. This project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Arkansas State Library under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
