DESCRIPTION:
Every summer, USC President C. L. Max Nikias offers students a list of recommended reading—books he thinks will improve and enrich their lives. This year, we are excited to launch a new event series in which students can dig deeper into selected titles from the President’s Summer Reading List in lively discussions with a faculty member. Join us for literary conversation and sweet treats as we kick off the President’s Summer Reading List Book Salons, a new USC tradition, with a discussion of Tom Stoppard’s Indian Ink.

Award-winning playwright and USC dramatic arts professor Paula Cizmar will lead a stimulating conversation about Tom Stoppard's Indian Ink. A 1995 play based on Stoppard’s 1991 radio play In the Native State, Indian Ink is a profound exploration of colonial relations, the impact of culture on art, and the complexities of our notions of home, history, and time.
