Louis Bayard, author of Courting Mr. Lincoln
The prizewinning author of Mr. Timothy and The Pale Blue Eye comes to Boswell with Courting Mr. Lincoln, the surprising novel of a young Abraham Lincoln and the two people who loved him best: a sparky, marriageable Mary Todd and Lincoln’s best friend, Joshua Speed. Boswellians Jane Glaser and Kay Wosewick are fans of this novel.
Carol Memmott writes in The Pioneer Post: "Lincoln is the novel’s anchor, but Speed is its most intriguing character. In a scene in which now-President Lincoln and Speed meet 20 years after the bulk of this novel takes place, the men make polite conversation until Lincoln plops himself down on Speed’s hotel bed and promptly falls asleep. Speed lies next to him and does the same. When they awake, Speed looks into Lincoln’s face and notices 'the same downturn of lip and residues of salt, like tracks across a desert. Why, he thought, it was like watching a heart break twice over.'"
Louis Bayard was a finalist for the Edgar Award for The Pale, Blue Eye. You will also recognize his name from his Washington Post reviews, many of which we've referenced in this blog. Bayard teaches fiction writing at George Washington University.
