Category:lit
Timeslot:Sat 04:00 pm (90 minutes)
Location:ACC / 207-D
Description:Sure, Verne was before him and there were others around the same time, but the popularity and acceptance of his "scientific romances" makes a strong case for his being the father of the form. Come hear about <i>The War of the Worlds</i>, <i>The Time Machine</i>, and <i>First Men in the Moon</i>, and about his lesser-known works like <i>The War in the Air</i> and <i>Tono Bungay</i>.
Speaker(s):Michael Engelberg(M), James Killus, Greg Bear, G. David Nordley
