Francis McGovern is a friend of Classical Pursuits and the proprietor
of literarytraveler.com, a fabulous website dedicated to the exploration
of the literary imagination and featuring articles about writers, creative
artists, and the places that they lived and traveled. Francis is a fan
of Flannery O’Connor and took part in our Mystery and Manners trip
to Savannah in the spring of 2007 where he got the idea to shoot a little
video for the Classical Pursuits to help bring to life the Classical
Pursuits experience to web browsers. He shot some footage of Nancy Carr,
an editor at the Great Books Foundation and leader of that trip and
veteran discussion leader at Toronto Pursuits, and of me. Some months
later, he met novelist Joe Coulson at his home in Cambridge MA, and
captured his experiences as a discussion leader for both a trip to Paris
and Toronto Pursuits. Here is the 9-minute result of Francis’s
effort. We would both love to hear your comments.
Classical Pursuits is a cultural and educational travel company based in Toronto, Canada, specializing in small group literary travel and learning vacations.
