Mystery Author Barbara Corrado Pope Reads from Cezanne's Quarry, 7pm, Barnes and Noble - Park Slope, free. http://www.cezannesquarry.com/events-and-appearances/ With deep and meaningful themes and provocative plot, Cezanne's Quarry (Pegasus Books, June 2008) explores art, history, science, religion and the roles of women that persist even today. Author Barbara Corrado Pope will be visiting Barnes and Noble in Brooklyn to read from her highly acclaimed novel, Cezanne's Quarry. Come and meet the author on her east coast tour as she visits with mystery, history, and suspense fans. Cezanne's Quarry is a highly accomplished, compelling novel. Beneath an exquisite veneer of historical detail lurks a thoughtful exploration of science and religion, of old values and new, and of a woman's place in the world. Hallie Ephron - The Boston Globe About the Author: Barbara Corrado Pope, author of Cezanne's Quarry, fell in love with the art, landscapes and people of Provence while teaching French, women's and religious history to American students in Avignon. Among the many places she led lecture-tours were Provence, where she followed in Cezanne's footsteps, from the hidden depths of the Bibemus Quarry to his sunny studio at Les Lauves on the outskirts of town. She has a PhD in the Social and Intellectual History of Europe from Columbia University and has taught history and women's studies in places as diverse as Hungary, Tuscany, the University of New Mexico, and Harvard Divinity School. Her longest stint was at the University of Oregon, where she was the founding director of women's studies. Cezanne's Quarry is her first novel. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. After taking early retirement, she continues to reside in Eugene, Oregon, where she is completing her second Bernard Martin mystery. The Blood of Lorraine is set in another place she has grown to love, Nancy, France. An event you don't want to miss! Barnes and Noble - Park Slope, 267 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215 |
