Famed children’s book writer Christopher Paul Curtis will be taking on the role of writer in residence at the University of Windsor this month.
The Michigan-born author, whose work includes numerous magazine and journal articles along with eight books — including three he penned in Leddy Library — will return to campus Friday, March 6, where he will kick off his month-long residency with the writer in residence’s inaugural reading.
Curtis’s first novel, The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963, was released in 1995 and brought him immediate and well-deserved recognition.
