Tuesday's Reader Meet Writer with Allan Gurganus (our 50th recording!) was a really special event. One attendee wrote to thank their bookstore for making it possible:
"Thank you for sharing your many fine authors! Your series is a part of literary history in America, and the World....Big Applause to Wiley Cash for his serious, yet warm specific questions. I noted that Allan worked beyond the question to the bigger
questions of life, and that made the Q&A more like a Q&Beyond... wonderful conversation."
The event is now live to view:
Tonight's Reader Meet Writer at 7:00 PM EST features David Zucchino, author of Wilmington's Lie. There has been a surge of interest after the events of last week. A number of national news organizations, including CNN, ran pieces on the 1898 Wilmington Race Riot as an example of an earlier insurrection against an elected government. So we expect this edition of Reader Meet Writer to be well-attended.
