ODU Alumnus Lamar Giles on Writing, Libraries and Creating Stories Where Everyone Belongs
Likely Human
While many children ask for toys when shopping with their parents, Lamar Giles (B.S. ’01, MFA ’17) and his sister were more likely to request books. Buying books is expensive, though, so Giles’ mother introduced him to the library where he discovered an infinite world of possibilities. “Anything that struck my interest, a section of the library had something about it,” Giles said. Decades later, the Hopewell, Virginia, native has built a career with words.
