The public is invited to three lectures all with Oregon authors who have explored legendary characters and while doing that\, looked inwards toward themselves. "They're all great stories\," says Fishtrap Program Manager Mike Midlo. "We think people will enjoy learning about these adventuresome women and learn how they remade themselves." \n\n\n\nTonights lecture is with alfred Habeggar: Masked: The Life of Anna Leonowens\, Schoolmistress at the Court of Siam. Masked is the first critical\, fact-based biography of Anna Leonowens\, the elusive India-born teacher who inspired The King and I. Based on fresh research on five continents\, the book traces her hard itinerant life before\, in\, and after Bangkok\, showing why someone of part-Asian ancestry ended up misrepresenting an Asian people and nation. Masked also explores why Leonowens's claim to have brought democracy to Siam held a profound appeal to Americans after the Civil War\, and then once again in the 1940s and 1950s\, when her story offered a kind of mythical support for America's historic shift from isolationism to foreign interventionism.\n\n \n\nFormerly a Professor of English at the University of Kansas\, Al Habegger is the author of many scholarly articles and five books\, including The Father: A Life of Henry James\, Sr. and the acclaimed My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson. In the 1970s he and his wife\, Nellie\, began building a log house on their land in the northern Wallowa County\, where they now reside.
