Laurie Sheck will be giving a multimedia presentation about her recently published hybrid fiction: Island of the Mad, which involves the discovery of a mysterious notebook and the life of Dostoevsky and is set in the Venetian lagoon. She is also the author of A Monster’s Notes (2009), centered around the un-named “monster” in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, still alive in the 21st century. A Monster’s Notes was nominated for the International DUBLIN Literary Award and was named one of the 10 Best Fictions of the Year by Entertainment Weekly.

Resistance may be made by individuals, but there are many reasons that it is best undertaken as a collective enterprise. My talk will elaborate this view and consider when social movements legitimately demand our support.
