This will be the last Chapter 16 newsletter before we go on our usual hiatus for the month of July, but stay tuned — there's some great new content coming up on the site this week (see below), followed by pieces from the archive until July 7, when Humanities Tennessee announces the lineup for the 2022 Southern Festival of Books. If you're unable to attend the reveal party in Nashville or watch the livestream on Facebook that evening, check Chapter 16 for a post with all the info. It will be up immediately after the announcement portion of the party.
Speaking of upcoming events, the TN Writers | TN Stories session with Marissa R. Moss has been rescheduled for June 30, and a session on July 9 will feature Rachel Louise Martin discussing her book Hot, Hot Chicken. The events are free, but pre-registration is required. See the website for details.
Today at Chapter 16, Wayne Catan reviews Stories from the Attic, the final posthumous collection of unpublished writing by William Gay, which will be released in July. On Friday we featured Hadley Hury's tender paean to boyhood, "Charting a Course."David Wesley Williams' review of Bob Black's Mandolin Man and Abby N. Lewis' review of Jay Wellons' All That Moves Us rounded out a short week.
