Host Dave Stewart interviews Eileen Julien, author of the 2009 IU Press book “Travels With Mae” and chairperson of the Comparative Literature department at Indiana University. We discuss comparative literature from its beginning on the IU campus, how Professor Julien came to comparative literature from a background in French, and she talks about “Travels With Mae” as a montage of memories centered on growing up in post-war pre-Katrina New Orleans, and a career spent teaching and writing on several continents.
