SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Robert Olen Butler
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Robert Olen Butler\, author of the novel Perfume River\, which examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family. \n\nAbout the Book \nFrom one of America’s most important writers\, Perfume River is an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family. Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian\, teaching at Florida State University\, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage\, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-War protests\, now bears the fractures of time\, both personal and historical\, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee and solitary jogging and separate offices. For Robert and Darla\, the cracks remain under the surface\, whereas the divisions in Robert’s own family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy\, who became estranged from the family as the Vietnam War intensified. Robert and Jimmy’s father\, a veteran of WWII\, is coming to the end of his life\, and aftershocks of war ripple across their lives once again\, when Jimmy refuses to appear at his father’s bedside. And an unstable homeless man whom Robert at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran turns out to have a deep impact not just on Robert\, but on his entire family. \nAbout the Author \nRobert Olen Butler is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of sixteen novels\, including Hell\, A Small Hotel\, and the Christopher Marlowe Cobb series. He is also the author of six short story collections and a book on the creative process\, From Where You Dream. He has twice won a National Magazine Award in Fiction and received the 2013 F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Literature. He teaches creative writing at Florida State University.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Jacqueline Woodson
DESCRIPTION:THE FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT OF THE 2016 MID-SOUTH BOOK FESTIVAL! \n\nJoin us for an evening with the author of the best-selling memoir “Brown Girl Dreaming\,” Jacqueline Woodson\, as she shares with us her lyrical new novel\, “Another Brooklyn.” \nAbout the book:\nRunning into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August\, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything until it wasn’t. For August and her girls\, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets\, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful\, talented\, brilliant a part of a future that belonged to them. But beneath the hopeful veneer\, there was another Brooklyn\, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways\, where ghosts haunted the night\, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion. Like Louise Meriwether’s Daddy Was a Number Runner and Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina\, Jacqueline Woodson’s Another Brooklyn heartbreakingly illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood\, the promise and peril of growing up\, and exquisitely renders a powerful\, indelible\, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives. \nAbout the author:\nJacqueline Woodson is the bestselling author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults\, middle graders\, and children\, including the New York Times bestselling memoir Brown Girl Dreaming\, which won the 2014 National Book Award\, the Coretta Scott King Award\, a Newbery Honor Award\, an NAACP Image Award\, and the Sibert Honor Award. Woodson was recently named the Young People’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation. She lives with her family in Brooklyn\, New York.

SUMMARY:Tommy Kha: A Real Imitation Booksigning
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading\, signing\, and sale of “A Real Imitation” (Ain’t Bad) with New York/Memphis-based artist Tommy Kha. \n\n\n\nGrowing up in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Tommy Kha felt a pervasive alienation from his surroundings and was often mistaken for a tourist or ‘foreigner.’ Gesturing to his eyes\, strangers would inquire about his ethnicity. As he approached adolescence\, these inquiries evolved into questions concerning his sexuality\, adding a new layer to his perceived outsider status. These experiences followed him even to graduate school at Yale University\, where declining to give a stranger a cigarette outside a bar was met with the impertinent invitation for Kha\, a native Memphian of Chinese descent\, to “go back to Japan.” Though these hurtful experiences had become commonplace\, Kha remained unscathed; he’d been hearing these types of things his whole life. Discussing his recent series A Real Imitation and how he remains unable to broach the subject of his sexuality with his mother\, grandmother\, and most of his family\, Kha says\, “I think subconsciously\, I made these pictures as a response to feeling forced to hide. So I’m trading guises and trying to reflect that. I think this is how the project will end—when they find out.” \nThrough A Real Imitation\, Kha uses a discordant mix of performance\, self- portraiture\, and iconic pictures of the Memphis landscape to understand and underscore his uncanny and complex experience of feeling like an outsider at home and in his own skin. Obsessed with photography’s ability to reveal and conceal\, Kha’s work pushes its function (as Diane Arbus once described it) as a purveyor of secrets. Straying from loud or heavy-handed depictions of cultural identity\, he illustrates his alienation with a constellation of visual poems that quietly capture a disruption between his projected likenesses and how he sees himself. \n-Jon Feinstein

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Donald Ray Pollock
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and the Booksellers at Laurelwood present Visiting Writer Donald Ray Pollock upon the release of his newest  novel\, The Heavenly Table. \n\nFrom Donald Ray Pollock\, author of the highly acclaimed The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff\, comes a dark\, gritty\, electrifying (and\, disturbingly\, weirdly funny) new novel that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American authors. \nIt is 1917\, in that sliver of border land that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble existence with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest; handsome; intelligent); Cob (short; heavy set; a bit slow); and Chimney (the youngest; thin; ill-tempered). Several hundred miles away in southern Ohio\, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his son\, Eddie\, and his wife\, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family’s entire fortune\, his life is put on a surprising\, unforgettable\, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the Jewetts. No good can come of it. Or can it? \nIn the gothic tradition of Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah\, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers\, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in increasingly dark and horrific ways\, placing Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the genre’s literary masters. \n“In 1917\, just as another hellish August was starting to come to an end along the border that divides Georgia and Alabama\, Pearl Jewett awakened his sons before dawn one morning with a guttural bark that sounded more animal than man. The three young men arose silently from their particular corners of the one room shack and pulled on their filthy clothes\, still damp with the sweat of yesterday’s labors. A mangy rat covered with scabs scuttled up the rock chimney\, knocking bits of mortar into the cold grate. Moonlight funneled through gaps in the chinked log walls and lay in thin milky ribbons across the red dirt floor. With their heads nearly touching the low ceiling\, they gathered around the center of the room for breakfast\, and Pearl handed them each a bland wad of flour and water fried last night in a dollop of leftover fat. There would be no more to eat until evening\, when they would all get a share of the sick hog they had butchered in the spring\, along with a mass of boiled spuds in wild greens scooped onto dented plates with a hand that was never clean from a pot that was never washed. Except for the occasional rain\, every day was the same.”\n— from The Heavenly Table \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\n\nDonald Ray Pollock\, recipient of the 2009 PEN/Bingham Fellowship\, made his literary debut in 2008 with the critically acclaimed story collection\,Knockemstiff.  He worked as a laborer at the Mead Paper Mill in Chillicothe\, Ohio\, from 1973 to 2005.  He holds an MFA from Ohio State University. His work has appeared in\, among other publications\, Epoch\, Granta\, and theNew York Times. \n\nADVANCE PRAISE\n\nAdvance praise for The Heavenly Table: \n“With furious prose and a Faulknerian eye for character\, Pollock (The Devil All the Time) populates his second novel with dozens of memorable people who embody America’s headlong leap toward the future in the early 20th century. \nIn 1917\, everything changes for the Jewett brothers—Cane\, the capable one; Cob\, the “slow” one; and Chimney\, the hothead—upon their father’s sudden ascension to the “heavenly table.” With the exploits of their pulp fiction hero Bloody Bill Bucket fresh in their minds\, the brothers embark on a violent journey north\, escaping the backbreaking\, fetid swamps on the Georgia-Alabama border and their lives under the thumb of sadistic landowner Maj. Thaddeus Tardweller. In southern Ohio\, aging farmer Ellsworth Fiddler and his wife wait for their prodigal son to return home after a brief absence\, during which he may or may not have enlisted in the United States Army to fight in Europe. Facing inexorable change—automobiles\, airplanes\, the machinery of war and agriculture—Ellsworth and others who frequent the local mercantile are “in agreement that the world now seemed head over heels in love with what tycoons and politicians kept referring to as ‘progress.’ ” But the Fiddlers cannot fathom how their lives will be transformed when the Jewetts ride into town on a crime spree that has made them the most wanted men in the country. \nSet against the backdrop of America’s involvement in WWI and the rise of motorized and electrical technology\, Pollock’s gothic\, relentless imagination seduces readers into a fertile time in America’s history\, exploring the chaos\, wonder\, violence\, sexuality\, and ambition of a nation on the cusp of modernity—and the outmoded notion of redemption in a world gone to hell.”\n—Publishers Weekly (starred) \n“Donald Ray Pollock is a master-worker.  This great novel flows like buttermilk\, so smooth and entertaining that you won’t be ready for the left hook it delivers to your heart or its sophisticated moral analysis of human life.  Pollock has an omniscient eye like Gogol\, taking in a vast scene while spinning tales within tales.  Readers will love him\, writers will study him.”\n—Atticus Lish\, author of Preparation for the Next Life \n“The Heavenly Table is brilliant and unforgettable.  In his trademark blend of humor and pathos\, Donald Ray Pollock gives us a view into life’s darkest corners\, without ever forgetting there is a lighter side as well.”\n—Philipp Meyer\, author of American Rust and The Son \n“Think of The Heavenly Table as an antic\, shambolic\, guilty pleasure. Pollock’s prose is compulsively readable and often very funny.”\n—Booklist \n“A darkly comic gorefest by a gifted writer.”\n—Kirkus \n“In a crowded room full of voices\, Don Pollock’s voice is so distinct you’ll hear first and won’t ever\, ever forget it. Nor will you want to. And the kicker is this: He somehow keeps getting better.”\n—Tom Franklin\, author of Poachers and Crooked Letter\, Crooked Letter \n“The Heavenly Table is the latest and strongest evidence that Donald Ray Pollock is one of the most talented and original writers at work today. With uniquely vivid and graceful prose he renders a tale destined to linger in the reader’s mind\, a story by turns violent and darkly amusing\, and always powerful. The novel is sure to be ranked among the year’s best.”\n—Michael Koryta\, New York Times-bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead \n“The Heavenly Table is a ferociously gothic ballad about desperate folks with improbable dreams and scant means. It is potent and chimeric\, dank\, violent\, swamped in tragedy—and funny as hell.”\n—Daniel Woodrell\, author of The Maid’s Version and Winter’s Bone
