If staying at home is getting you down, how does an armchair trip to explore the sights and sounds of Greece with an author sound? Today, May 18, 2020, would have been our scheduled Spring Book & Author Luncheon. Alas, the Coronavirus pandemic means that we can’t get together in person right now, but we’re still finding new ways to connect with our authors and their books! Book & Author Society Board member Raya Samet (University of Michigan-Dearborn) sat down for a virtual interview with Mary Norris, author of Greek to Me: Adventures of the Comma Queen, which is now available in paperback! Tune in to hear the full chat about Norris’ travel memoir that weaves in her early career at The New Yorker, her (mostly solo) travels to Greece, and her odes to the Greek language and Greek mythology.
