A talk and book signing by Nicholas P. Cushner on "The Royal Spanish Inquisition: Torture, Sex, and What it Teaches Us in 2009" will be held on Tuesday, November 17, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library 208. What do we know of the Spanish Inquisition (1478-1808)? Torture, intolerance, secrecy—anything else? Learn how and why the Spanish Inquisition came into existence, and how and why the Inquisition lasted for as long as it did. Dr. Cushner will read from his new book, The Magical Conquistador and Other Stories about the Royal Spanish Inquisition.
