"It was beautifully done," said Stephen P. Shoemaker, one of the teaching fellows for the course.
"It was touching," added Michelle C. Lye '03, a student in the class.
After the lecture, Tatar, teaching fellows and a randomly selected group of five students enjoyed lunch with Lowry at the Faculty Club.
Over lunch, the group discussed various topics including Lowry's career, censorship issues, education and children's literature.
