The John Updike Society needs presenters and moderators to fill two panels at the 2013 American Literature Association Conference in Boston, Mass. The conference runs from May 23-26 and will be held once again at the Westin Copley Place, right across from the library and within an easy walk of the Commons.

Proposals for papers and expressions of interest in moderating should be sent to:  James Plath (jplath@iwu.edu) by the end of December.

We hope that the JUS can be a presence at ALA. If you live within a short drive of Boston or are planning on attending ALA anyway, please consider helping our organization by participating on one of two panels.

Graduate students and independent scholars working on Updike need not currently be a member of The John Updike Society in order to submit a proposal.
