Belden will read from his second novel "Shriver" at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Fairfield University Bookstore at 1499 Post Road in Fairfield. Belden is a 2011 graduate of Fairfield University's MFA in Creative Writing Program. The event is free and open to the public. 

“Shriver” is a "farce about mistaken identity set at a writers’ conference, where a murder may have been committed," according to the release.

“In a style somewhere between Evelyn Waugh and Mel Brooks, Belden’s satire lampoons all things literary but also, amazingly, convinces us to care about the fools that these mortals be,” wrote Alan Davis, author of “So Bravely Vegetative” and “Rumors from the Lost World” in the press release. 

Belden was born and raised in Canton, Ohio, and studied film at the University of Michigan. He taught creative writing and English at Fairfield University, founded and continues to teach at the Ridgefield Writers Workshop and runs a writing workshop at a maximum security prison.

For more information on the event, contact Elizabeth Hastings, ehastings@fairfield.edu or 203-254-4000, ext. 2688.
