Yesterday's book section of the Seattle Times carries a review of "Dreamers of the Day," a new novel by Mary Doria Russell. The novel's narrator is named Agnes Shanklin. The review quotes an author's note as follows:
"The narrator's name honors the memory of a woman who taught freshman English students to diagram sentences at Glenbard East High School in Lombard, Ill, in the 1960's. I know almost nothing about the real Agnes Shanklin, who died many years ago, but the laid the foundations for everything I have written since 1965."
