agic. Please join us to listen to Reif Larsen, who studied at Brown University and teaches at Columbia University, speak about his love for maps and story-telling, and how he managed to successfully combine these to produce his original novel, “The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet,” which had 10 publishing companies competing to publish it.

“A lot of people are married to a map as a geographical object. For me a map is a way of making meaning of the world around us on some kind of paper or screen or whatever it is. It’s that meaning making, or the translation, that’s the important part… Maps show so much about the mapmaker, [as it] is very personal or emotional.”

(Larsen in a recent interview)
