Buffalo State welcomes Mick Cochrane, professor of English and the Lowery Writer-in-Residence at Canisius College, for a reading and discussion of his latest book, Fitz, on Tuesday, April 9, from 1:40 to 2:55 p.m. in Caudell Hall 212.

Cochrane’s first novel for young adults, Fitz tells the story of a 15-year-old boy who coerces the father he’s never met to spend a day with him—at gunpoint. Knopf executive editor Erin Clarke called the book “a taut, heartwarming novel…full of characters you will quickly come to love.”

Cochrane teaches courses in writing and literature, directs the creative writing program, and coordinates the Contemporary Writers Series at Canisius. His talk is free and open to the public.
