Renowned author Daniel Wallace will speak at the Spring for Literacy Luncheon on April 6 at Governors Club, an event to support Chatham Literacy.
The entertaining and thought provoking Mr. Wallace is the author of the highly regarded novels “Big Fish,” which was adapted and released as a major motion picture, “Kings and Queens of Roam,” and four other titles. He directs the Creative Writing program at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is the J. Ross MacDonald Distinguished Professor of English.
Regarding literacy, Mr. Wallace says, “Reading and writing is where all the power is today. If you can’t read, you are powerless in so many ways in society. You are not going to become the person that you were meant to be without that skill.”
He acknowledges the challenges of adult education. “You can’t underestimate the bravery it takes for adults to admit and understand and submit themselves to this process of learning to read and write.”
McIntyre’s Books is donating to Chatham Literacy 20% of the sale on all Mr. Wallace’s books in-store (starting now) and at the Luncheon.
Mr. Wallace will sign books after the Luncheon.
Delicious food and a great program. Hope you can be part of this event!
