The Newberry Library’s Adult Education program will offer an online writing seminar on Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America. This acclaimed 2003 historical non-fiction book introduced millions of readers to the facinating and tumultuous history of how the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition was built.
“Deconstructing The Devil in the White City” will analyze the craft of the storytelling in Larson’s writing. Dr. Caroline Malloy—a historian, book coach, and developmental editor—will guide the discussion of character, plot, and setting.
The seminar will meet online from 2-4 pm on March 29, 2023. Registration is $65 ($58.50 for Newberry members, seniors, and students). More information and registration is available at: https://www.newberry.org/calendar/deconstructing-the-devil-in-the-white-city
