Description

Why is satire essential in the world culture? The answer, just like the question, is an ancient one. It is rooted in the history of humanity and its need to be able to laugh at itself. Satire is a form of literary fiction that tends to treat serious, problematic conditions of civilization with a playful touch and a critical eye. P.S. Lutz, in his most recent published satire, Oversoul – The Poet Policeman of Lambshire, explores the worth of words at a time of cultural obsession with the marketplace value of all things. ABOUT THE AUTHOR P.S. Lutz wields the pen as a sword and as a lilting instrument within the gallimaufry of poems, plays, short stories, and novels that make for two decades of modern mythic storytelling.  Five of his mythic operas have been produced on New York City stages since 2015. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase at the lecture. Seating is limited, please save your seats in advance.
