‘Other People’s Houses’ author to speak
Lore Segal, author of Other People’s Houses about the journey of a Jewish refugee child from Vienna via England and the Dominican Republic to New York, will speak at a student-organized symposium April 26 in Johnson Hall.
Segal, whose more recent book Shakespeare’s Kitchen was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, is being hosted by a group of Tennessee Tech University students of this semester’s foreign languages and cultural studies course on immigration, exile and the concept of alterity.
Segal is a Holocaust survivor who left Vienna as a 10 year old and came to England on the Kindertransport. Segal will speak at an event scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m. Monday, April 26, about her life as a refugee and a writer. The event will be held in the Johnson Hall auditorium.
