CANTON - The St. Lawrence University Writers Series begins on Thursday, Sept. 15, with an appearance by acclaimed novelist Andre Dubus III, author of the 2011 memoir Townie as well as the novels The Garden of Last Days and House of Sand and Fog.

He will speak and read from his works at 8 p.m. in the Common Room of Sykes Residence Hall.

The event is open to the public, free of charge.

Dubus grew up in mill towns on the Merrimack River along the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border.

He began writing fiction at age 22 just a few months after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in sociology.

His work has been widely anthologized and Dubus has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, The National Magazine Award for fiction and The Pushcart Prize.
