As the resident retired English professor of
the Café Confictura, Roscoe Belesprit can usually be found quoting literature
over a coffee and scone, or running his writing salon out of the Riverview
Room. Here are some of his favorite titles from his library. Mixed in, too, are
his favorite pieces of writing from other forms of entertainment.
To read more about Roscoe, his advice on
writing literature, and all the characters from “Sketches from the Café Confictura,”
