No one within the College of the Holy Cross’ English Department today has taught longer on Mount St. James than Susan Elizabeth Sweeney, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Humanities. One of her favorite topics to share with students is detective fiction, including Paul Auster’s 1985 novella, “City of Glass.”
