Roth-Updike, a joint conference of the Philip Roth and John Updike societies, will begin Sunday, Oct. 19 and end the morning of Oct. 22. Seventy people registered to participate, with attendees getting the chance to interact with members of both societies. Sessions were deliberately designed to encourage everyone to attend both Roth and Updike panels, as there will be no competing concurrent offerings.

Here is the Roth-Updike Conference Program.
