Historical fiction writer David Anthony Durham reads from his most recent novel is "Pride of Carthage: A Novel of Hannibal." A review in Bookmarks Magazine said that the novel is "at once a sweeping saga, an intimate portrait of an individual, a military history, and a tale about love, devotion, and loyalty. Critics hailed such plays in scale, praising Durham for pulling off the risks of writing a panoramic history of epic battles while capturing the dramas of individuals, from Roman generals to North African kings, foot soldiers and former slaves." Durham's previous work includes "Gabriel's Story" about black homesteaders and cowboys in the American West, and "Walk Through Darkness," the tale of a runaway slave. Each was selected as a "notable book" by the New York Times.

Live From Prairie Lights was a live public radio program broadcast from Prairie Lights, an independent bookstore in Iowa City, Iowa. The program showcased new and established writers from around the world.
