Frostburg State University’s Department of English and Center for Creative Writing will present acclaimed journalist Ted Conover on Monday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the Cordts Physical Education Center Leake Room. The event is free and open to the public. A reception and booksigning, sponsored by the FSU Office of Student and Community Involvement, will follow.
Conover’s most recent book, “Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing,” describes his rookie year as a corrections officer inside New York’s legendary Sing Sing prison. Initially banned by the NYS Department of Correctional Services, the book is still considered contraband unless several key pages have been removed. Conover, whose writings are frequently based on first-hand participation, contributes to the “New York Times Magazine” and many other publications.
