For those of you who live near or close to the pulsing center of the universe, please be informed that you are cordially invited to a reading/lecture to be given by me in Providence at Books on the Square, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 20.
I will be talking about my new book “The Friar of Carcassonne: Revolt Against the Inquisition in the Last Days of the Cathars.” So far reaction has been fairly postive to this latest histo-excursion of mine; I invite you to visit my website – stephenosheaonline.com – for more information on the book.
Suffice to say that it’s a tale told by a fool for history, full of ephemeral victories and changes of fortunes, peopled by malevolent inquisitors, venomous courtiers, and one very very brave man: Brother Bernard Délicieux.
It ends badly. That’s because it’s a true story.
