An academic novel

I keep my eyes open and collect inspirational moments. Then something clicks, and all those moments fall into place and are arranged into a plot. “Seven Moral Failing” – an academic novel, my first prose book – was inspired by a picture by (Andrea) Mantegna at the Louvre museum, showing Minerva driving away the seven moral failings. I looked at it and thought of all the graduate students and professors I knew throughout the years, all the sloth, ignorance, etc. – and within a few hours I had an outline of a plot.
