Keep looking\, the chaos will start to show its pattern\, its rhythm\, its dimension and its awe-inspiring color\,” while NPR said: “It’s hard to list all the themes Thomas tackles with aplomb in this book – just know it’s smart\, fast moving and funny as hell.”\n \n \nCopies of Dr. Thomas’s books will be for sale at the event. In addition\, he’ll lead a craft discussion in my fiction seminar from 3-4pm in the Student Center\, Room 202C. If you’d like to attend\, let me know ASAP as space is limited. \n \nIf you plan to attend the reading\, please RSVP to Michele McBride\, mmcbride@monmouth.edu.
