No one could have predicted even two years ago that an African American would take the oath of office as president of the United States in January of 2009.

This collection, with about 400 letters from Americans of all walks of life, is being created to stand as a symbol of this exciting moment in history.

Luna reads from a cache of letters discovered in the lantern room of a storm-battered lighthouse. Each episode unfolds a single letter — written by a lighthouse keeper who served a century ago — and the events that ripple into the present. The keeper's voice grows more desperate with each dispatch: his logbooks record a ship that appears on the horizon every night but never arrives, a fog that whispers, and a second lighthouse that flickers where none should be. Luna's narration is hushed, as if the lighthouse walls might be listening. This is a serialized descent into maritime isolation, ...

Every night, Luna sits at the unlit ON AIR desk of a tiny radio station, a sealed letter in hand.

Luna reads their stories aloud into a dead microphone, for no one but herself — or so she believes. Letters to the Night Desk is an anthology of epistolary horror: each episode a self-contained missive from someone in Sycamore Ridge, recounting the ...

This is the second volume of the Letters, Epistles LXVI-XCII. Among the personalities of the early Roman Empire there are few who offer to the readers of to-day such dramatic interest as does Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the author of the Epistles. These letters, written by Seneca towards the end of his life, are all addressed to his friend Lucilius, who, at the time when these letters were written, was a procurator in Sicily. The form of this work, as Bacon says, is a collection of essays rather than of letters. Summary paraphrased from the Introduction in Volume 1 by Suprad.
