Fiction Reading: Renee Gladman '93. Renee Gladman is assistant professor in Literary Arts at Brown and one of the most interesting and distinguished small press publishers and authors in America, a writer with a global view and an African-American perspective. "The Review of Contemporary Fiction" described her novel "The Activist" as "A haunting and hilarious mix of dreams, news reports, confessions, and internal monologues, Renee Gladman's latest book is an absurdist political satire and a poetic consideration of points of contact among people, people and society, people and cities, and also, perhaps most captivatingly, between a person's sense of self in opposition to her sense of the "Other" or sense of herself as the "Other." Co-sponsored by the Dean of Faculty Office, Media Studies, American Culture, Africana Studies, Urban Studies, the Philosophy Department and the English Department.
