Daniel Lavery is the author of Something That May Shock and Discredit YouThe Merry Spinster, and Texts From Jane Eyre. He is the co-founder of The Toast and the proprietor of the Chatner newsletter; formerly the Dear Prudence advice columnist at Slate. He will be reading from some of his published writings, particularly on Sappho and Catullus, and then discussing with Prof. Johanna Hanink how his work has been informed by his “amateur enthusiasm for Classics.”
