Written Arts Program Presents
Reading by Carey Harrison
“Who Was That Lady? is the very song of the world. I feel in reading this that the author has set inside it not a world, but the world. If aliens were to come and land on our planet and hope to decipher it, this would be the book you could give them that would be the closest to a guide, or place from which to begin." —John Kellar
