‘Black Ice’ author Lorene Cary to visit Temple Oct. 4
| In the early ’70s, Lorene Cary was transplanted from her Philadelphia roots into the elite environs of Saint Paul’s School in New Hampshire. Cary’s experience as a minority in academia, both as a student and a teacher, became the source for her memoir Black Ice, an autobiographical account of the inevitable growing pains that accompany adolescence. The book was named the 2007 selection for the First-Year Reading Project, through which entering freshmen are encouraged to read the selected book before the start of the fall semester. Cary will visit Temple’s Main Campus for a reading and book signing on Oct. 4, the culmination of a week’s worth of special activities, including a film series, crossword-puzzle competition and small faculty- and student-led discussions to support discussion of the novel.
