Gibbons, Local Writer,
Entertained Students with
Readings of Woric
by Susan Cartrette
Kaye Gibbons read in die Recital Hall
at Peace College Monday, Nov. 6. As she
read from her second novel A Virtuous
Woman, she breathed life into the charac
ters of Ruby and Jack. Her gestures and
playfulness showed the ease she felt with
this work.
Gibbons appeared more serious and
involved reading from the draft of her newest
work which should come out “next fall or
whenever 1 finish it, whichever happens
first.” Lines such as “ttie eggs is where the
chickens laid them” and a description of a
child, who chatters nonstop, as being
“vaccinated with a phonograph needle”
reveal the down-to-earth yet poetic tone of
Gibbons’ work.
Gibbons was raised in Nash County
and now lives in Raleigh with her husband
and three children. Her first novel Ellen
Foster has been translated into several lan
guages and is a best seller in Europe. While
reading from A Virtuous Woman, she de
scribed herself as a perfectionist to explain
her editing from the text.
Kaye Gibbons is a very personable
Southern writer. Addressed by a member
of the audience as to whether success had
changed her, she quipped only in that be
fore she bought 70% ground beef at Winn-
Dixie, and now she goes to the Fresh Mar-
let.
Her favorite writers include Eudora
Welty and James Joyce.

Inside CCL
Some of you might have been sur
prised to see library fines listed on your ^
Meredith statements. This is part of our
new system of collecting library fines.
The charge for over-due books is 10
cents per day. The fine may be paid in the
library at the time the book is returned.
However, if the fine is not paid at that time,
the charge is added to the student’s bill in
the accounting office. The fines can then be
paid only in the accounting office.
Due dates for books always fall on
Wednesdays. Books can be renewed at any
time. (Be sure to bring in the book to be
renewed.) If you keep these things in mind, ^
maybe you’ll never have to pay an over-due
fine.
