Dr. Frederick Turner
Within the remarkable variety of Prof. Frederick Turner's thirty books, one can discern his abiding interest in the epic, from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to comic books with their superheroes to science fiction, which he himself has written. His most recent book, Epic: Form, Content, and History, maintains that epic continues to be the most vital literary form--in fact source and origin of all others. Prof. Turner will speak about epic literature, read from his poetry and prose, and sign copies of his latest work.
Wednesday, 7:30-9 pm: November 28. Reception at 7 pm.
