Roanoke College professor's book recognizedPosted Sep12, 2008 at 02:25 PM
Robert Schultz’s book “The Madhouse Nudes” was chosen by the Lutheran Book Club for the months of July through August this year. Schultz is an English professor at Roanoke College. He recently completed a nonfiction work entitled “We were pirates, a torpedo-man’s view of the Pacific War.” The book’s main character is an un-churched male artist who studies the female form. Through this character, the reader experiences church without any religious background as well as small town suspicion and judgment—among other aspects of the book that make it a good discussion piece. The book club is a part of Lutheran Writers, a group that is not affiliated with the Lutheran church itself, but it is made up of members of the church and other Lutheran-affiliated institutions. Visit robertschultz.us or www.LutheranWriter.org for more information (and to get the discussion guide for “The Madhouse Nudes.”) Q: How does a Lutheran book club end up choosing a book called “The Madhouse Nudes”? Photo: Schultz read poetry from a work in progress, "Ancestral Art," at the Tanglewood Barnes & Noble in August. |
