Eudora Welty novel featured in audio chat
The Optimist's Daughter, the Eudora Welty novel, will be discussed at 7 p.m. CST on Dec. 20 in an audio chatcast sponsored by the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center. Tom Peters, moderator of the discussion, part of the Meting of the Minds series, describes Daughter as a "short, deceptively simple novel." Although the presentation is primarily for the visually impaired, anyone can participate. Hey, Eudora is much more than an e-mail program (actually the mail client was named with the title of a Welty work in mind). All you need is a PC with a sound card and speaker or headphones. The chat software downloads instantly and does not include spyware. For information on the Web address of the discussion, email Tom Peters.
