Readings@The Nick: Georgia Cloepfil
Join Professor Georgia Cloepfil, Linfield's Renshaw Author-in-Residence, for a reading alongside Professor Joe Wilkins.
Q+A to follow.
Georgia Cloepfil is the author of the memoir The Striker and the Clock about her time playing professional soccer: Six years, on six teams, in six countries. ,
During those years, she lived out of a single suitcase. In South Korea, she practiced in an isolated island compound next to an airport. In Australia, she coached youth teams on the side to pay her rent. In Lithuania, she played in the European Champions League, to empty stadiums and little fanfare.
The Striker and the Clock is a beautiful examination of the joy and pain of serious athletics. Written in ninety short passages—reflecting the ninety inexorably passing minutes of a soccer match—the book is a love letter to a maddening sport and a reflection on the ways it has shaped a life.

Q+A to follow.
The stories of Adam Peterson’s funny, daring, and deliciously outrageous debut ANY TIME BUT THIS TIME span our history and confront our future. From the first woman on Earth grieving among the Neanderthals, to the last man alive nursing the dying flame of love, this collection moves across human history and geography to reveal us at our best and lament our worst. Jesus declares himself a superhero. Lost sailors launch an ill-fated attempt to colonize medieval England. A young woman fights to commandeer the founding of America. A pioneer’s wife satisfies her endless sexual appetite in barren Nebraska. Children hurtle into space to confront alien life—even though they really, really just want love. For fans of George Saunders and Kelly Link, these voices, unbound by time and undaunted by consequence, show us that there are truly no limits to what a short story—so long…
