Children’s author to lecture

Children’s author and award-winning storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy will tell “Stories of a Dyslexic Bibliophile” at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, April 15, at the Fluno Center, as the annual lecture of the Friends of the UW–Madison Libraries. Born in 1960 in Havana, Cuba, Deedy’s family immigrated to Decatur, Ga., after the Cuban Revolution. Deedy’s storytelling style has deep roots in the difficulties of immigration, although she is better known for her sharp wit and humorous approach toward the misunderstandings between cultures.
