On a cold November night in 1959, a Kansas farmer, his wife, and two of their children are murdered in their farmhouse. Truman Capote, fascinated with the crime, researched the murder, changing the non-fiction crime genre forever. Medieval theater history, murder mystery, character study, and philosophical treatise on the meaning of life - a lot of ideas are artfully packed into one little book that can probably be read in one sitting. Paluch-Mishur's lecture will focus on images of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, one of the most fascinating women of ancient history. All programs are held in the Geneva Public Library Meeting Room unless otherwise indicated.
