William Kittredge is the author of two books of short fiction, a novel, a memoir and three collections of essays. He was co-editor of The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology and co-producer of the film A River Runs Through It. Kittredge has published essays and articles in more than 50 magazines and newspapers, including Atlantic, Harper’s, Esquire, Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post and The New York Times. He has received numerous awards for his writing, including a Stegner Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and the Los Angeles Times Award for Lifetime Achievement. Kittredge taught in the University of Montana's Creative Writing Program for 29 years and is currently a visiting writer in the Programs in Writing at UC Irvine.

Please join us to hear William Kittredge read from his book, Hole in the Sky, a memoir that is at once autobiography, family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the land he grew up in. He will also share a new piece of short fiction, "Should Go Nicely."

Event is free and open to the public.
