In the final event of Gordon Library鈥檚 23-24 Meet the Author series of informal opportunities to meet and hear from our WPI faculty authors, writer and Shakespeare scholar Prof. Michelle Ephraim will be joined by Dean John McNeill for a conversation about her award-winning memoir, GREEN WORLD:
  A Tragicomic Memoir of Love \& Shakespeare.\n鈥淕reen Worldis a love stor
 y unlike any other, and not just because one of the principals died four h
 undred years ago. Michelle Ephraim鈥檚 poignant memoir of discovering Shak
 espeare鈥攁nd herself鈥攊s also an unsparing family portrait and a profoun
 d meditation on loss. To read it is to remember why you fell for books in 
 the first place.鈥漒n鈥擜ndrew Ridker, author of The Altruistsand Hope, a 
 New YorkerBest Book of 2023\n\n\n\n\n      \n      \n\n\n\nGreen World\n\n

 ved.\n鈥淚 don鈥檛 know much about Shakespeare, but Michelle Ephraim鈥檚 g
 orgeously written and deeply personal Green Worldmade me feel like I just 
 had a crash course in the power of both his storytelling and hers. Ephraim
 鈥檚 tales of her parents, her coming of age, and especially her career in
  academia are not only highly entertaining, but also incredibly moving and
  relatable. This is a beautiful look into a sometimes complicated, but alw
 ays thoughtful and loving life of a mom, wife, daughter, Gen Xer, professo
 r, and scholar.鈥漒n鈥擶endi Aarons, author of I鈥檓 Wearing Tunics Now\n\
 nCopies of Green World may be ordered from the University of Massachusetts
  Press, from Amazon, or from your local booksellers, and the author will b
 e available to sign books immediately after the event.\nAccepted WPI stude
 nts for the Class of 2028 and their families are warmly invited to join th
 is event.\nThe Gordon Library is grateful to the Worcester Jewish Communit
 y Center (JCC), whose Arts \& Culture program is co-sponsoring this event.
  We invite attendees to explore the many contributions that the JCC makes 
 to the Worcester community.\n\n\n\n\n      \n      \n\n\n\nMichelle Ephrai
