Join Richard when he reads from The Young in their Country and Other Stories at the UNB Reading Series on Thursday Feb. 10, at 8pm in the Alumni Memorial Lounge


Steven Heighton notes that Richard Cumyn is: "one of our finest story writers: exacting, surprising, deftly attuned both to language and to character, tough-minded and large-hearted at the same time — often within the same sentence."
