FARMINGTON - Award-winning fiction writer Merrill Feitell will read from her work at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, in Thomas Auditorium, located in Preble/Ricker Hall at the University of Maine at Farmington.

Feitell received the 2004 Iowa prize for short fiction for her "Here Beneath Low-Flying Planes," and she has been selected as one of "Fiction's New Luminaries" by the Virginia Quarterly Review.
