Carrie Smith, Residential College and UofM alumna is returning to the campus Thursday night! She will be reading from her latest novel, Silent City, in the Benzinger Library at 7:30 pm. Silent City is Smith’s first crime book. Her protagonist, Detective Claire Codella, lands a high profile case and must fight for her life, in more ways than one.
While Smith currently is Senior Vice President, Publisher of Benchmark Education Company in New York, she grew up in Detroit. While studying in Ann Arbor she majored in Creative Writing and Literature. It’s fitting that she will read from her most recent work in East Quad, which houses the Residential College (RC), and her former community. I myself am a proud member of the RC. As someone who hopes to work in publishing one day, I can’t wait to meet her. If you like crime fighting, come listen to Carrie Smith’s story and hear from our fellow Wolverine!
