William H. Gass: Fifty New Acquisitions

This exhibition commemorates William H. Gass’s centenary in 2024 and showcases acquisitions made since the WashU Libraries last exhibited Gass materials in 2013. Highlights include drafts, correspondence, artwork, audio recordings, and more from this legendary fiction writer, philosophy professor, and literary critic.

Joel Minor, curator of the Modern Lit Collection/Manuscripts, organized the William H. Gass: Fifty New Acquisitions exhibition, displayed in cases in the Olin Library Kagan Grand Stair and the Julian Edison Department of Special Collections Reading Room.
