Warren author plans signing events

WARREN

“The Dying of Mortimer Post,” a first-person narrative chronicling the life of a young protagonist as he comes of age in the Pocono Mountains, views the senseless massacre of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai, and comes to an ignoble end after a 30-year career with the Los Angeles Police Department.

The poignant, exciting story, authored by Barry W. Ozeroff, formerly of Warren, presents realistic word pictures of the tragedies Mortimer Post endures as he searches for understanding and healing, and finds a reason for living.

According to the author’s Web site, Ozeroff will be at the Warren Public Library, 444 Mahoning Ave. NW in Warren, at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. At 2 p.m. Saturday, he will be at Borders, 2102 Niles-Cortland Road, Niles.

Foster Wallace archive goes to U. of Texas

AUSTIN, Texas

The Harry Ransom Center library and museum at the University of Texas has acquired the archive of writer David Foster Wallace.

Wallace is best known for his 1996 novel “Infinite Jest” and has been hailed as a visionary of his literary generation.

Wallace suffered from depression and committed suicide in 2008. His archive includes handwritten notes and drafts of “Infinite Jest” and other works, poems written as a child, his personal library and writings from college.

Material for Wallace’s posthumous novel, “The Pale King,” will remain with his publisher until after the book’s scheduled release in 2011.

The archive includes the earliest appearance of the David Foster Wallace signature on “Viking Poem,” which was written when he was 6 or 7 years old.
