In this online presentation, Joseph Allen Boone, a 2014–15 SHC fellow, not only reads excerpts from his recently published novel Furnace Creek, which is a contemporary queer retelling of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, but also discusses the arc of his career and how his pursuits as a scholar of the novel and gender have culminated in this book.
