This Tuesday, novelist Nick White visits UWEC to hold a discussion and reading of his text 'How to Survive a Summer' (description below)! Join us in Centennial Hall for this great event. Refreshments provided. . .
Camp Levi, nestled in the Mississippi countryside, is designed to “cure” young teenage boys of their budding homosexuality. Will Dillard, a midwestern graduate student, spent a summer at the camp as a teenager, and has since tried to erase the experience from his mind. But when a fellow student alerts him that a slasher movie based on the camp is being released, he is forced to confront his troubled history and possible culpability in the death of a fellow camper.
