The Citadel, the military university that Robert Jordan attened, will be honoring him on April 8th with a permanent display in their library. The event is open to friends, family, and local fans. Here are some details:
You are invited to a special event at The Citadel honoring Robert Jordan (James Oliver Rigney, Jr., Citadel class of 1974, Honorary Doctor of Literature 1999). The dedication of a permanent exhibition of photographs, artifacts, and mementos of his life and career will take place on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, at 6:30PM in the Daniel Library
The event will also feature a panel presentation on Rigney's work as a fiction and fantasy writer. Panelists will be:
David Drake, author of the Hammer's Slammers series of military science fiction and Lord of the Isle fantasy series (
).
Michael Livingston, Assistant Professor of Medieval Literature at The Citadel, and a recent winner of the Writers of the Future Contest (
).
Brandon Sanderson, author of several books of fantasy in his own right, including Elantris and the Mistborn series, and who is currently completing the final book in Jordan's Wheel of Time series. (
)
There will be a reception after the panel discussion.
Harriet and Wilson will, of course, be there as well. We'll probably have a report of the event after it occurs.
