Author reads from her tale of luck and the lottery
University of Hawaii graduate student Patricia Wood takes the campus stage as a nationally published author, reading from her debut novel, "Lottery," at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Architecture Auditorium on the Manoa campus.
Wood, a doctoral student in the College of Education, credits her work at the Center on Disability Studies with some of the inspiration for her novel, about a mentally challenged young man who wins $12 million in a lottery. The book had another inspiration as well: Wood's father actually did win the Washington State Lottery.
The event will include a discussion of the book, a reception and book-signing. The book, published by Putnam, will be available for purchase.
Admission is free. Call 956-7539.
