AUDIOBOOK: The audio version of the fiction novel 'Slaters Lane' concerns a murder investigation conducted while the coronavirus sweeps through Alexandria, VA.

Join us on Wednesday, October 21, for an inspiring and amusing conversation moderated by NPR newscaster Nora Raum with audiobook narrator and WETA on-air host Nicole Lacroix, musical composer James Jacobs and author John Adam Wasowicz, HKS '88, about writing, narrating, arranging, and producing a work of art during the coronavirus. These artists combined their storytelling, narrative, and musical prowess during the coronavirus to produce an audiobook with an Agatha Christie-like vibe. Their trials and tribulations will inspire, make you laugh, and cause you to begin your own audiobook project! Without personal contact, how do artists share a vision? What inspires them to work in solitary confinement? How do lyrical, textual, and oratory skills coalesce to produce a seamless work of art? And what’s it like recording an audiobook in a closet?
