Making Gains |
 The site of the only complete collection of Ernest Gaines scholarship in the world will open Sunday in UL Lafayette's Dupré Library. The Ernest J. Gaines Center provides a space for scholars and students to work with the author's papers and manuscripts. The university's writer-in-residence emeritus spoke with The New York Times last week about his home in Oscar, La. He and his wife, Dianne, purchased River Lake plantation, a place where many of his ancestors are buried. They built a home there and also restored the cemetery on the land. |
