The rooms adjoining the Gasson Rotunda were the literary hub of this year’s Boston College Arts Festival, where faculty and students read their work, ranging from humor to sections from published novels. Student contributors to Stylus, the campus’s writing and art magazine, also took the podium to share their writing. A selection of those readings is offered here.
