Humanities Tennessee founded Chapter 16 in 2009 in the belief that criticism and reporting on the literary world are essential to our cultural conversation. In the interest of making that conversation more inclusive, we're delighted to announce the Humanities Tennessee Fellowship in Criticism, an opportunity for a writer from a marginalized community to receive support and guidance in pursuing arts journalism focused on books. Applications for the fellowship are open until December 11, and you'll find full details on how to apply here.
Today at the site, Michael Ray Taylor interviews New York Times reporter and editor Clay Risen about his latest book, American Rye, as well as his fascinating gig as a Times obit writer and his forthcoming book on the Red Scare of the 1940s and '50s.
Last week, we revisited Hamilton Cain's review of Margaret Verble's When Two Feathers Fell from the Sky, which was recently released in paperback; David Dark interviewed veteran religion journalist Bob Smietana about his new book, Reorganized Religion; Beth Waltemath reviewed Inciting Joy, the latest essay collection from Ross Gay; and Emily Choate reviewed the debut story collection by Rebecca Bernard, Our Sister Who Will Not Die.
