We continue our occasional series, Our Favorite Books, with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s enduringly popular creation Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is thriving on television and continues to occupy an important place in popular culture. The famous fictional detective even figures prominently in the debate over evolution vs. intelligent design. We’ll look at how the character has changed over the years (and how our response to him has changed) and we’ll ask what Sherlock Holmes means in our culture today. We’ll also explore Utah and Mormon connections and hear sound clips from radio, television and film. We’ll ask you to tell us your favorite Sherlock Holmes book, film or television series.
Our guests for the hour include USU Associate Professor of English, Brian McCuskey; and Utah author Michael Homer.
