closeCHAPEL HILL -- Award-winning novelist E.L. Doctorow will give a free public lecture at 6:30 p.m. March 27 on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.
Doctorow's most recent novel, "The March," had its genesis in the history "The March to the Sea and Beyond" by Joseph Glatthaar, a UNC-CH historian. The book is set during Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's Civil War march through Georgia and the Carolinas.
"The March" won the National Book Critics' Circle Award for fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
