The program begins at 7:30pm in the Doris Swang Chapel, located in the Ezell Center on the Lipscomb University campus. A book signing and reception follows the lecture. Admission is free.

Smith is author of 12 novels and four collections of short stories. Her latest work is a short story collection titled “Mrs. Darcy and the Blue Eyed Stranger.” She is the recipient of the Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the North Carolina Award for Literature and a Southern Book Critics Circle Award.

Crowther is a noted journalist, film and drama critic, and winner of the Lillian Smith Book Award and the Fellowship Prize for Non-Fiction from the Fellowship of Southern Writers. His most recently published collections include “Gather at the River” and “Cathedrals of Kudzu.”

Since the Lipscomb University Landiss Lecture Series began in 1985, such notable speakers as Bret Lott, George Garrett, Terry Kay, John Egerton, Wilma Dykeman, Robert Massie, Natasha Trethewey, Ron Rash, Sena Jeter Naslund, Richard Marius, Jay Parini, and Robert Morgan have engaged the Middle Tennessee community in conversations that challenge the mind. The series was founded by Dr. Morris P. Landiss, longtime chair of the Lipscomb English Department, in hopes of “challenging the minds of students and those in the community.”
