About this listen
In this first episode, Kelley explains how sixteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin couldn’t get his writing published — so he invented a widow. In the first Silence Dogood essay, Franklin secretly introduces a witty fictional voice that captivated readers of The New-England Courant and launched his career in satire. It's a founding teen's look at colonial Boston, and his alter ego doesn't hold back. This is the origin story of Silence. It's a fun educational tool for middle and high school students.
