In today’s episode, we talk with eight talented authors who appeared at a moveable dinner known as Bibliofeast, sponsored by the Charlotte Chapter of the Women’s National Book Association. We explore the plots and themes of the books and the writing lives of the authors.
The authors who appear in the episode are Belle Boggs, THE GULF (Graywolf Press), Jim Hamilton, THE LAST ENTRY (Working Title Farm), Karla FC Holloway, A DEATH IN HARLEM (TriQuarterly/Northwestern University Press), Bruce Holsinger, THE GIFTED SCHOOL (Riverhead Books/PRH), Anna Jean Mayhew, TOMORROW’S BREAD (Kensington), Diane C. McPhail, THE ABOLITIONIST’S DAUGHTER, Jon Sealy, THE EDGE OF AMERICA (Haywire Books), and Amber Smith, SOMETHING LIKE GRAVITY.
We start the show discussing Bibliofeast and the origins and purpose of the Women’s National Book Association with Susan Walker, National Events Manager for WNBA National Reading Group Month.
