WHEN: This Thursday September 4, 2014 at the Student Union room 304A from 7:00-9:00PM
The University of Connecticut International Relations Association is proud to present Connecticut author R.C. Mulcahy who will be speaking about his personal experiences during and after the September 11 attacks, and his novel, "One From Two".
“One From Two” may be most moving September 11 novel to date. Proceeds are being donated to further medical research at Harvard in honor of those lost on September 11.
Mulcahy witnessed the September 11 attacks from a Jersey City, New Jersey office tower. “One From Two” serves as a salute to the World Trade Center and to those harmed by a tragedy of chance.
Mulcahy noted, “The book is a ‘rebuilding’ novel, which weaves together the story of the construction, collapse and revitalization of the World Trade Center with the personal crises faced by the principal characters. The symbolic analogy of the Twin Towers and other plot lines were assembled with the help of many experts.” With the book nearly a decade in the making, research took Mulcahy to San Francisco, London and many points in between. Included among the visited institutions were Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University and the University of Oxford.
Now, Mr. Mulcahy is touring across the globe to spread word about the completed novel. To honor those lost on September 11, 2001, Mulcahy is donating all of his profits (i.e., royalties less taxes) from book sales to assist those harmed by a tragedy of chance. The proceeds are being given to the Macklis Laboratory at Harvard University.
Last spring, Mulcahy’s book tour included visits to the United Kingdom, where he was honored for his work at the University of Cambridge’s Saint John’s College. This fall, his tour will include visits to Yale University, Brown University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Cornell University, and a cohort of other prestigious institutions, including the University of Connecticut.
Please join us this Thursday September 4, 2014 at the Student Union room 304A from 7:00-9:00PM to meet the author and hear his story.
