Author Brock Clarke discusses his original and critically acclaimed novel An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England, a delightfully dark story about literature, lies, love, and life. In the league of contemporary classics such as A Confederacy of Dunces and Catch-22, this novel is a heartbreaking and entertaining story about truth and honesty and the damage they do.
Late Night Open Mic
10:30–11:30 p.m., Theater, Center for Creative Connections
Hear Dallas's hottest poets or share some of your own verses. Hosted by Tisha Crear of Reciprocity. Readings may contain adult themes and language. Spoken word performances only; no instruments allowed.
FILMS
Vanity Fair
10:00 p.m., Horchow Auditorium
Acclaimed director Mira Nair adapts William Thackeray’s classic novel—a satire of society in 19th-century England. Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) uses her wit and cunning to ascend the social ladder and finds that “polite society turns out to be anything but as life gets harder and more complicated the higher she climbs.”
This film is rated PG-13.

Join Dr. Eleanor Hughes, Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Yale Center for British Arts, as she examines J. M. W.
