It is 1883, and America is at a crossroads. At a tiny college in
Upstate New York, an idealistic young professor has managed to
convince Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, Walt
Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Confederate memoirist Forrest
Taylor, and romance novelist Lucy Comstock to participate in the
first (and last) Auburn Writers' Conference for a public discussion
about the future of the nation. By turns brilliantly comic and
startlingly prescient, The Auburn Conference vibrates with
questions as alive and urgent today as they were in 1883-the
chronic American conundrums of race, class, and gender, and the
fate of the democratic ideal.
