| This year’s TN Writers | TN Stories author talk series at the Tennessee State Museum is taking shape, and an exciting list of authors will be announced soon. In the meantime, explore the videos of past events — a great way to get your book chat fix without leaving home on these cold, gray late-winter days.
And speaking of book events, submissions are open for the 2025 Southern Festival of Books, held October 18-19 in Nashville. If you have a book published between October 23, 2024 and October 31, 2025, it can be submitted for festival consideration here. The last day to submit a book is May 31.
Today at Chapter 16, Sara Beth West reviews A Fool’s Kabbalah by Steve Stern, which she describes as a “heartbreaking novel punctuated by Yiddish slang, wordplay, and countless jokes.” Last week, we revisited Aram Goudsouzian’s 2018 interview with Keisha Blain about her book Set the World on Fire: Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom; Erica Wright talked with editors Michael Lofaro and Jesse Graves about Complete Poetry of James Agee; Tina Chambers reviewed Kerry Madden-Lunsford’s Werewolf Hamlet; and Emily Choate reviewed Geraldine Brooks’ memoir, Memorial Days.
