This year's series begins July 5 with Robert Morgan, Cornell's Kappa Alpha Professor of English, who will describe his personal development as a fiction writer. He also will talk about the process of telling stories in the voice of the character, particularly as a man in a female character's voice, as he did in his novel Gap Creek , a recent Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection. As Uganda's unofficial musical ambassador to the United States, Samite celebrates and preserves the music of his native Baganda culture. His songs are sung in the language of his homeland and played on traditional African instruments. The rain location is Uris Hall auditorium.
