Join Hyde Park Library in welcoming local author Richard Todd Devens for a talk on his novel, Dialogues with the Wise Woman.

Scammed by an evil Las Vegas con artist, pianist George Sistern descends into a deep depression; and even after three years, his pain, guilt, self- loathing, rage, and desire for revenge remain. Through an acquaintance, he contacts Mildred Markowitz, a psychologist and philosopher of genius. Dialogues with the Wise Woman is more than a novel. It is a psychological and philosophical treatise that tackles many important issues: What is evil? Can good and bad be determined? Is revenge ever justified? A no-holds-barred search for truth that encourages readers to utilize their own rational judgment, Dialogues with the Wise Woman is the perfect read for intelligent skeptics everywhere.
