Dear Eric, et al.,

David Chambers, after many negotiations has made arrangements for Thursday at 8. I teach 651 4-6:40 Thursdays to Grad poets--or I'd suggest something with CW students after his race in Cuba talk--maybe 5:30 or 6 (I might end class by then). Friday, I think--still negotiating, Chambers may still be talking with students interested in pre-law and Law school (he's an emeritus professor U of Michigan Law School and volunteered to do this Friday morning sometime. Doubt this would much conflict with what Sarduy might do then--but Friday morning itself is a bad time for any such things-- by either of them: Thursday night drinking, and classes for some, makes attendance difficult then.  Which is why i suggested squeezing in something on Thursday-- possibly even before the 4 o'clock talk?

David

I can talk this up to the grad students, but I'm making them attend the fiction readings and I've included them on the syllabus. I don't feel I can require attendance at this event, at this point. I'm sure some of them would attend a Friday event, if they are able. Maybe an afternoon reading and informal talk in BRR?

Dear Writers,

       Here is something that’s come up.

      David Chambers reads on Thursday night at 8 pm.  If we would like our students to be able to meet with Pedro Perez Sarduy, it would have to be sometime on Friday.   What do you think?

Dear Eric,

Pedro is arriving Wednesday April 6th in the afternoon. I'll drive him to Oxford Thursday morning. He's scheduled to give a public multimedia talk Thursday at 4 PM and meet my Cuba class Friday at 12:45. Otherwise his schedule is open.

Peter

Dear Peter and Kerry,

  What is/are the date(s) of his viist?   It's quite a crowded semester......

    Otherwise, it sounds great.

Eric

Yes, Peter, the English department will be able to help out here, and given Pedro Perez Sarduy's work in fiction and poety, I'm copying our creative writing director, Eric Goodman, with the thought that this visit may be of special interest to him and his faculty and students.  We can offer $250 toward expenses, and I hope this will be helpful.  The contact person for the financials is Rachel Treadway, also copied on this email.  Good luck with this event, and please be in touch as needed.

Dear Kerry,

The Humanities Center has approved my proposal to bring here this Spring Pedro Pérez Sarduy, who will be speaking on Race in Cuba, meeting with my Cuba class and any other  appropriate classes. I have attached his record of research in the last seven years and my application to the Humanities Center. They have a $1000 limit on honoraria, but he pays his own airfare from England and is willing to spend two full days of work here. He normally receives $2,000. Since he is a poet, journalist, and novelist, I thought there might well be people in your department who might like to meet with him or invite him to visit a class.  I have gotten small amounts from Black World Studies, the Center for American and World Cultures, Latin American and World Studies, and even the Classics Department, but am still well short of Pedro's normal honorarium. Any support you could offer would be much appreciated.

Peter
