Burlington Book Festival
"Three authors -- two novelists and a poet -- who have appropriated from the literary canon to create their own works talk among each other and with the audience about making it new. Marc Estrin's Insect Dreams: The Half Life of Gregor Samsa carries the hero of Kafka's Metamorphosis through the New Deal, World War II, and the dawn of the atomic era, and includes a detailed description of Charles Ives' greatest (albeit unwritten) symphony. Deborah Noyes' Angel and Apostle follows Hester Prynne and her daughter, Pearl beyond the imaginings of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Seth Steinzor's To Join the Lost revisits the Inferno seven hundred years after Dante's original tour. The panelists will read from their works and discuss the issues, opportunities and pitfalls of engaging in this kind of dialogue with the past.
Time TBD
