OBSESSIONS AND IMMERSION: WRITERS AND HISTORICAL FICTION

The lure of writing historical fiction is great—the pleasures of diligent research and discovery, the joy of escape to another time, perhaps another place. These four writers describe what drew them to the varied historical periods into which they immersed themselves and what it was like to live in them for a while. Whether it’s Vietnam or ancient Rome, you’ll find yourself transported. Panelists include Katy Simpson Smith, Elisa M. Speranza, E.M. Tran, and Kitty Zeldis, with C. Morgan Babst, moderating.
