Description
Location: Devlin 101
Contact: Sheila Gallagher
Author and pediatric physician, Chris Adrian, will discuss his experiences writing Gob’s Grief, a novel set in 1863 Civil War America. Adrian uses fiction to consider the bonds that tie in a society obsessed and surrounded by death. Currently at Harvard Divinity School, Adrian will discuss how his impressions of historical events play into the writing process, and how the fields of medicine and theology have influenced his fiction. This lecture is sponsored by the Institute for the Liberal Arts in conjunction with the McMullen Museum Exhibition, First Hand: Civil War Era Drawings from the Becker Collection.

Boston College
Boston College is a private research university located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, in the New England region of the United States. Its historic campus, one of the earliest examples of Collegiate Gothic architecture in North America, is set on a hilltop six miles (10 km) west of downtown Boston. Although chartered as a university by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1863, Boston College's name reflects its early history as a liberal arts college and preparatory school in Boston's South End. It was the first institution of higher education established in the city, though it later outgrew its urban location and moved to pastoral Chestnut Hill on the city's western edge. Boston College is one of the oldest and largest Jesuit universities in the United States and is home to one of the world's most prominent Catholic theological and philosophical faculties.Eventful Movies
