Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: April 19, 2013, Hour 2:</p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">Francine Prose</span> </b><br><br><a href="http://www.chautauquawriters.org/index.php?page=francine-prose" target="_blank"><strong>Francine Prose</strong></a> graduated from prestigious Radcliffe College and realized she had no job skills. After a stint in graduate school, she wrote her first novel out of desperation… and it was well-regarded and sold well. Prose is best known for her fiction, but has also written literary and art criticism and children's books. She speaks in Ashland this evening, and we get a chance to visit with her before the event.</p>
