WordSmitten :: About the Books :: A Curable Romantic

Tune in to the fun. Listen each Sunday afternoon for the WordSmitten "About the Books" broadcast.

Kate Sullivan interviews author and Emory University professor Joseph Skibell.

He discusses his book, A Curable Romantic. Set in 1800s Vienna, this novel transports the reader to an era in which men might marry at age 12 in an arranged marriage.

This witty and intellectually engaging book brings a phalanx of characters who break our hearts and make us laugh about the human condition in Vienna and in the world today. We may have more human rights, but do we have more human hearts. A Curable Romantic - Great summer reading.
