A Foray into the (Imaginary) Life of Ben Franklin
October 15, 2012
Comment on Facebook
A lunch talk with Tom Fitzgerald.
What if Ben Franklin came back? What if everything depended on it? That's the starting point for Tom Fitzgerald's fantastic Poor Richard's Lament, a book that puts Ben Franklin on trial in a celestial court and then grants him his wish to come back to life in present day America. The stakes are high for our culture, and for this book alike.
Tom Fitzgerald is the author of three works of fiction: Chocolate Charlie (Warner Books), A Matter of Scents (Pyramid Books) and Chocolate Charlie Comes Home (Warner Books), as well as several works of nonfiction.
