Description of Pictures: Madeline Miller
Fiction
Circe
With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.
In conversation with Keith Vient.
Madeline Miller
Madeline Miller took the literary world by storm in 2012 with her debut novel, “The Song of Achilles,” a New York Times best-seller, which won the Orange Prize for Fiction and has been translated into more than 25 languages. Madeline also was shortlisted for the 2012 Stonewall Writer of the Year. Madeline’s new novel, “Circe,” returns readers to the world of Homer, this time giving us a brilliant reimagining of the famed sorceress from “The Odyssey.” Her essays have appeared in a number of publications, including the Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Lapham’s Quarterly and NPR.org.
Madeline, who was born in Boston and earned both her B.A. and M.A. in Classics from Brown University, now lives in Narbeth, Pa., with her husband and two children.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
