The study of Classics might seem like an
unusual preparation for a novelist, but it's where one author, Carol
Goodman, found her muse. Carol Goodman will discuss how studying Latin
as an undergraduate at Vassar College gave her the discipline, language
skills, and subject matter to write her first novel and how classical
myth and literature have continued to be a source of inspiration in her
writing. Carol Goodman is the author of The Lake of Dead Languages
(Ballantine, 2003). Her work has appeared in such journals as The
Greensboro Review, Literal Latté, The Midwest Quarterly,
and Other Voices. |
