Escape the winter blues this January by joining CenterForLit writing tutor and instructor Dr. Augusta Hardy for a 6-week study of one of the most beloved novelists in the English language.

We have a car named “Hal,” a plant named “Brutus,” and I’m trying to figure out how to convince Ian to let me use “Miranda” as the middle name of a future daughter.
