SUMMARY:Tuesday\, August 26 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Ralph Ellis with The Accident Report
DESCRIPTION:Author/journalist Ralph Ellis joins us at The NewSouth Bookstore for what will surely be a most enjoyable program tied to his new novel\, titled The Accident Report. The story is set in 1974 in North Carolina. It stars Ronald Truluck\, a rookie reporter who is inspired by Watergate and hopes to uncover a scandal to make his bones as a reporter. It won’t be easy. The paper he works for\, The Millerton Eagle\, runs pet-of-the-week pictures on the front page\, not corruption stories. And Ronald is a stoner who’s loosey-goosey with the facts. With a little help from his friends\, he finally lands the story—but with results nobody expected. Come listen to Ellis spin a yarn or two about his new book and how he came to write it. (Hint: He’s been a working journalist.) Tuesday\, August 26 at 5:30pm.

SUMMARY:Tuesday\, August 12 at 5:30pm\, at The NewSouth Bookstore: Alexis Okeowo joins us for a talk about Blessings and Disasters: A Story of Alabama
DESCRIPTION:The book is called Blessings and Disasters: A Story of Alabama. It’s a perspective-shifting work that is both an intimate memoir and a journalistic triumph by Alexis Okeowo\, a New Yorker staff writer and PEN award winner. In the book\, Okeowo investigates her life\, other Alabamians’ lives\, and the state’s lesser-known histories to understand why Alabama has been the stage for the most extreme results of the American experiment. A blend of memoir\, history\, and reportage which Yaa Gyasi calls “extraordinary\,” the book is also timely and engrossing. It sheds light on the divided face of our nation even as it defines the complexities of this place many of us call home. We are so fortunate to host Alexis Okeowo at The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday\, August 12 at 5:30pm. Don’t miss it.

SUMMARY:Saturday\, June 21 at 3pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Ruth Franklin talks about "The Many Lives of Anne Frank"
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Ruth Franklin to The NewSouth Bookstore on Saturday\, June 21 at 3pm. She will talk about her new biography\, The Many Lives of Anne Frank. In this work Franklin explores the transformation of Anne Frank from ordinary teenager to icon\, shedding new light on the young woman whose diary of her years in hiding\, now translated into more than seventy languages\, is the most widely read work of literature to arise from the Holocaust. Comprehensively researched but experimental in spirit\, this book chronicles and interprets Anne’s life as a Jew in Amsterdam during World War II while also telling the story of the diary—its multiple drafts\, its discovery\, its reception\, and its message for today’s world. It’s an amazing book. And we have every expectation that Franklin’s presentation about her subject will be every bit as fine.

SUMMARY:Thursday\, June 5\, 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Dr. Barry Cole joins us for a talk about One Hundred Pearls: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Barry Cole teaches African American literature at the University of Alabama. His love of the subject matter sparked him to write his first historical novel\, entitled One Hundred Pearls: A Novel. The story centers on the life of Sadie\, who lived to be one hundred. Stolen from her African home in Gambia\, she survived abduction and the experience of the Middle Passage to live on cotton and rice plantations before being removed to Tuscaloosa’s Tannehill Furnaces. Cole tells us that the Tannehill Slave Cemetery is essentially a mass grave where scores of human beings were buried under unchiseled stones gleaned from the nearby furnace quarry. Their names are mostly lost to history. One Hundred Pearls: A Novel tells one woman’s story. The book cannot right history\, but it gives poetic life to it. Come meet Barry Cole and enjoy this talk about his work. At The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday\, June 5\, at 5:30pm.

SUMMARY:Tuesday\, May 13\, at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Miranda Spivack joins us for talk about Backroom Deals in Our Backyards
DESCRIPTION:Miranda S. Spivack\, an award-winning journalist\, is our special guest on Tuesday\, May 13 at 5:30pm\, in conversation with social justice advocate Patricia Todd\, a former Alabama legislator.

This eye–opening and meticulously reported book is both a call to action and a road map for success.” Come be enlightened and inspired.
