Vikki returns to her alma mater, The University of Rhode Island Department of English, for a reading and discussion of Tenemental. Truly one of the most enjoyable moments of writing the book was riffing on a slightly off-topic description of URI in the 1990s - white hats, Dave Matthews Band, rampant entitlement - and the existential confusion of being in that specific place at that specific time. (FUN FACT: one of the members of a local band popular at URI at that time, referred to as “hell on earth” in the book, actually got in touch to say hi - his wife was reading the book and she found this mention very funny. He was really cool about it all.)

ANYWAY, the event is in the Hoffman Room, Swan Hall, 60 Upper College Rd, Kingston, RI 02881. Free/open to the public, resplendent with refreshments, and wheelchair accessible.
