Going to ALA in New Orleans?
Join RUSA/CODES on Sunday, June 27 at 2-4 pm for The South Rises Again:
The Renaissance of Southern Fiction in the Napolean Ballroom of the Hilton
Riverfront Hotel.
Susan Dodd, Jim Grimsley and Terry Kay, three outstanding novelists, will
discuss their work, their inspiration, and the role that libraries have
played in their lives. They will also be available to sign their books.
Susan Dodd, who has taught at Harvard and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, is
the author of four critically acclaimed books: No Earthly Notion, Mamaw,
Old Wives Tales, The Mournersí Bench and the forthcoming O Careless Love.
Her work has been honored by the Friends of American Writers, the National
Endowment for the Arts, and the Faulkner Society. She lives on Ocracoke
Island, North Carolina
North Carolina-born Jim Grimsley is an Atlanta-based novelist and
playwright. He is the author of three novels: Winter Birds, Dream Boy, and
My Drowning as well as many plays and performance pieces. My Drowning has
been compared to Dorothy Allisonís Bastard Out Of North Carolina. Kirkus
Reviews found it to be "Moving, vivid, and very real: a work of tremendous,
quiet intensity."
Terry Kay is the author of the bestsellers, Shadow Song and To Dance with
the White Dog, as well as The Runaway, Dark Thirty, After Eli, The Year the
Lights Came On, and To Whom the Angel Spoke. His most recent novel, The
Kidnapping of Aaron Greene, is about the kidnapping of an ordinary young
man and focuses on the question, "what is the value of a life?". Mr. Kay
lives in Athens, Georgia.
Hope to see you there!
