Boston College Front Row

In this Lowell Humanities Series lecture, author Jennifer Haigh reads from her second novel, Baker Towers (William Morrow, 2005), which she characterizes as "a family story set in a coal mining town in western Pennsylvania." She describes the circumstances that led her to write the book, which won the 2006 PEN/L.L. Winship Award, and responds to audience questions. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Haigh is currently a faculty member of the Boston University Creative Writing Program.
