Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><div data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><span data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><div data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><span data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><span data-text="true">Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. </span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><div data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><span data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><div data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><span data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><span data-text="true">Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><div data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><span data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><div data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><span data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><span data-text="true">The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson’s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.</span></span></div></div> 2019-08-04 19:00:00 -0500

A son and grandson, Matt and Kaden, live in the Pacific Northwest. His poetry and short stories have appeared in Lyrical Iowa, The North American Review, Haiku Journal, Spillway, The Hawai’i Pacific Review, The Briarcliff Review, and numerous other journals.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="5m7c7-0-0"><span data-text="true">A U.S. Army Veteran, Maulsby spent four and a half years on active duty. Enlisting as a private, he served two years as a Russian voice intercept operator rising to the rank of Specialist Fifth Class before attending Ft. Benning, Georgia’s Infantry Officer Candidate School. After graduation as a Second Lieutenant, he was accepted into the Military’s Intelligence branch. In 1968, he served with the 25th Infantry division while in Vietnam. Maulsby led a mobile electronic intelligence gathering platoon with elements established in firebases and Vietnamese villages in southwestern Vietnam.

Cornell College Theatre Production: The Spitfire Grill
<p>By Fred Alley, James Valcq, and Lee David Zlotoff; directed by Caroline Price. A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.</p><p>From the New York Times: "A soul satisfying … work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows."</p>
