About this Event
We welcome Joe Taylor back to Ernest & Hadley Booksellers for a morning of conversation about his latest book, , on April 18 starting at 11am!
For a special treat, Don Noble will be his moderator and Don has previously stated, "As Director of the Livingston Press, Joe Taylor has always been a promotor of avant-garde and offbeat writing and is a steady producer of edgy fiction himself: fantasy, satire, even novels in verse.
“Francine” might be described as science fiction. The character does, inexplicably, travel through time from the seventeenth century to the present, but the emphasis is on her adventures, not on the apparatus. The travel is a given. The narrator, Francine, a young woman, speaks to us now in the twenty-first century. She remembers her last time with her “father,” René Descartes, on a sailing ship in a violent storm, talking in their cabin.
Before going much farther I recommend the reader look at the Wikipedia entry on Descartes, 1596-1650. You will be amazed."
Join us for a morning of intrigue as we unpack this clever and witty novella. All are welcome. Registration is encouraged.
