OUR CLASSICAL HERITAGE: A HOMING DEVICE is the winner of the 2006 Gatewood Prize from Switchback Books. According to judge Arielle Greenberg, "Our Classical Heritage is a pleasurable and witty work, pinned sharply but delicately to reality through images of cultural detritus and evocations of American childhood. The force of the voice here is redoubtable. The world as described may be a dizzying soup of existence, but Caroline Noble Whitbeck can always locate herself." OUR CLASSICAL HERITAGE: A HOMING DEVICE is Caroline Noble Whitbeck's first book.
