The University of Dallas is bringing Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anthony Doerr to town.
Doerr wrote All the Light We Cannot See, a best-seller described in its Pulitzer citation as "an imaginative and intricate novel inspired by the horrors of World War II."
Tickets go on sale Saturday, Dec. 15, at udallas.edu/mcdermott. The event takes place March 5, at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, as part of the annual McDermott Lectureship, which in the past has featured the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maya Lin.
And if one lecture is not enough for you, the Irving university is also arranging a spring break tour of France that's billed as "a once-in-a-lifetime trip to explore the places detailed in All The Light We Cannot See." A link to details about that $3,759 experience can also be found at udallas.edu/mcdermott/.
