dying that he learned the true circumstances surrounding the death of his great-grandfather Ham Dillon. An aspiring young Indiana politician, Dillon was shot to death in 1908 by his own brother-in-law, Link Hale -- a man half-crazed with anger and grief over the fact that his wife, Allie, had just borne Ham a child. To add another twist, Allie Hale was more than just Ham Dillon's lover; she was also his wife's only sister. In "Indiana Gothic", he tells the story of Ham Dillon with the sweep and power of a novel, re-creating the era in such vivid detail that we have the sensation of time travel

The story herein told is true to life; true, the greater part of it, to my own life. Also, I…
am convinced that my experience in A Canadian Bank was but mildly exciting as compared with that of many others. My object in publishing "Evan Nelson's" history is to enlighten the public concerning life behind the wicket and thus pave the way for the legitimate organization of bankclerks into a fraternal association, for their financial and social (including moral) betterment. Bank officials, I trust, will see to it that my misrepresentations are exposed. To mothers of bankclerks who attach overmuch importance to the gentility of their Boy's avocation; to fathers who think that because the bank is rich its employees must necessarily become so in time; to friends who criticize the bankclerks of their acquaintance for not settling down--this story is addressed. To the men of our banks who are dissatisfied with the business they have chosen, or someone else has chosen for them; to Old Country clerks who come out to Canada under the impression that Five Dollars is as good as One Pound; to bank employees in the United States, and to office men everywhere--I am telling my tale. Finally, I appeal to "the girls we have known." Be sure you study the subject thoroughly before accusing that inscrutable, proud and procrastinating clerk of yours of inconstancy. (From the Prologue)

La verdadera historia de la mujer que desafió a papas y emperadores en plena Edad Media. Nacida en una familia…
de fortuna y linaje, a los tres años de edad Hildegarda de Bingen comenzó a tener visiones acompañadas de dolores tan intensos que parecían llevarla a la muerte. A los catorce años fue encerrada, contra su voluntad, en una celda de barro adosada a las paredes de un monasterio de varones. Allí dedicaría su vida solo a la contemplación del Señor. Pero Dios le tenía preparada otra cosa. Sazonada con ingredientes fantásticos y usando como telón de fondo el mundo monástico y el convulsionado siglo XII, esta novela narra la historia de esa joven que desafiando a su mundo fue abadesa, profetisa y médico. Realizó milagros y exorcismo, se vistió con sedas y joyas, escribió de teología y medicina, compuso música, fundó dos monasterios, predicó en público, desafió al mundo masculino y enfrentó a papas y emperadores siendo una de las personalidades más fascinantes del siglo XII alemán. **Novela ganadora del Premio Caligrama 2018, en la categoría Talento.**
