ALBION, Mich. — David Harris Ebenbach, winner of the Great Lakes Colleges Association’s Fiction Writer Award, reads and discusses his collection of short stories “Between Camelots” Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 5 p.m. in the Wendell Will Room located inside the Stockwell-Mudd Library.

“Between Camelots” explores the struggle involved in forging relationships, and the spaces that are left when these efforts fall short. The short stories also focus on the courage that drives us all to continue to reach out to those around us. Fiction writer Stewart O’Nan stated “These stories of searching young Americans are intimate and sharply detailed, sometimes hopeful, often sad, with just a taste of the strange.”

Ebenbach’s Between Camelots also won the University of Pittsburgh Drue Heinz Literature Prize, and hisshort stories have appeared in various literary journals. He presently lives in Indiana, where he teaches at Earlham College.
