In this conversation, which was recorded last fall, we’re joined by Dr. Kathleen Marks, a UD graduate and Associate Professor of English at St. John’s University. We speak about Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel Beloved; how prophecy is not about predicting the future but investigating the past; and the impact of legendary professor Dr. Louise Cowan on her students and the world.
