Curated by faculty of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Arizona, the Prose Series brings writers of distinction to Tucson for readings and colloquia. UA Prose Series events take place at the Poetry Center and are free and open to the public.

The editor’s role is a crucial but often unseen part of the writing process. Willing Davidson, Associate Fiction Editor at The New Yorker, will discuss the process of editing Henry Roth’s final unfinished manuscript, published posthumously in the spring of 2010 by W. W. Norton as An American Type, and read passages from the book.
