Holsinger will read from his historical thriller, “A Burnable Book.” The event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Arthur and Margaret Glasgow Endowment Fund. “A Burnable Book” is set in the alleys and halls of medieval London, where the poets Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower spent much of their lives. David Liss, Edgar Award-winning author of “A Conspiracy of Paper” and “The Last Enchantment” said of “The Burnable Book,” “Everything you want in a work of historical fiction: fascinating, rich in period detail, and propelled by a compulsively engaging story. Even better, it’s clever and witty…a superb entertainment.” In addition to his fiction writing, Holsinger is the author or editor of six nonfiction books, including “Neomedievalism, Neoconservatism, and the War on Terror” (Prickly Paradigm Press, 2007) and “The Premodern Condition: Medievalism and the Making of Theory” (University of Chicago Press, 2005). He has also written more than 15 articles and five book reviews.
