Captain Ahab's grandson comes to visit

     We kicked off our "Best of Literary Lunches 2011" with a reading from none other than Captain Ahab's grandson, Cornelius.  He is onovelThe Young Man and the Sean a quest to take out the white whale that has cursed his family, killing his grandfather and ruining his father's life.
      Cornelius read from the novel The Young Man and the Sea by Rodman Philbrick--a novel that has some eerie similarities to Cornelius' life and the way the sea can affect father-son relationships.  Cornelius also spends his lonely life on the sea by singing sea shanties and writing.



     Justin Fisher did a great job answering questions in personna, and we were lucky to have him start off our "Best of" week!
