The Literature Department is thrilled to extend a special invitation to an engaging luncheon featuring Judith Lindbergh, the acclaimed author of Akmaral, a sweeping tale about a nomadic woman warrior of the ancient Asian flatlands who must make peace with making war.Join us for an enlightening presentation that delves into provocative questions this historical fiction novel raises about matriarchy and misogyny, the nature of love, cultural allegiance, and warfare, as well as Judith's extensive historical research. 

Judith Lindbergh’s debut novel, The Thrall’s Tale, published by Viking, was an IndieBound Pick, a Borders Original Voices Selection, and praised by Pulitzer Prize winners Geraldine Brooks and Robert Olen Butler. In addition to numerous publications, she spoke at the Smithsonian and provided expert commentary on the History Channel's series Mankind: The Story of All of Us. Judith received a 2024 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and is the Founder/Director of The Writers Circle, a creative writing center based in New Jersey.

We look forward to your presence at what is sure to be a terrific event.
