Listen to an extract I read at Spring Writes
Pretoria, 1987 - Soft Targets
By popular request, here’s the recording of me reading an extract of From the Road To Jericho at the Spring Writes Literary Festival. I choose a scene from early in the novel.
The festival is put on by the Community Arts Partnership right here in Ithaca, NY. Apparently we had record registration and turn-out for this reading. 🙏
My reading starts at 37:54.
This is the first time I’ve ever done this. I’d truly lovely to hear your comments and feedback. Just hit the 🤍 (to like) or 🗨 (to leave a comment) at the top of this email. 🙏
Sue,
That was a beautiful reading! Enjoyed it very much. The realism embedded in the intricate narrative of Elle’s thoughts convince me that some of this story draws from real experience of those times. If it doesn’t, kudos to you for mastering the impossible art of bringing to life a person, a place, and a time in a few short paragraphs. Looking forward so much to reading the rest of Elle’s story!
