SUMMARY:Andrew Donnelly for Confederate Sympathies
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nThe archive of the Civil War era is filled with depictions of men’s same-sex affections and intimacies. Across antebellum campaign biographies\, proslavery fiction\, published memoirs of Confederate veterans and Union prisoners of war\, Civil War novels\, newspaper accounts\, and the war’s historiography\, homoerotic symbolism and narratives shaped the era’s politics\, as well as the meaning and memory of the war. The Civil War\, in turn\, shaped the development of homosexuality in the United States. In a book full of surprising insights\, Andrew Donnelly uncovers this deeply consequential queer history at the heart of nineteenth-century national culture. \nRather than presenting a secret or marginalized history\,\nConfederate Sympathies argues that male same-sex affection\nwas central to the nation’s political and cultural development\nduring and after the war—in ways that profoundly shaped race\, power\, and memory in America. \nAbout the author \nAndrew Donnelly is a literary and cultural historian specializing in the U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction periods and in the field of Southern Studies. He is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Memphis and received his PhD from Harvard University in 2020. His research has been supported by fellowships from the Boston Athenaeum\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Center for Mark Twain Studies\, and the Library Company of Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR: Eliana Ramage for To the Moon and Back
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nMy mother took my sister and me\, and she drove through the night to a place she felt a claim to\, a place on earth she thought we might be safe. I stopped asking questions. I picked little glass pieces from my sister’s hair. I watched the moon. \nSteph Harper is on the run. When she was five\, her mother fled an abusive husband—with Steph and her younger sister in tow—to Cherokee Nation\, where she hoped they might finally belong. In response\, Steph sets her sights as far away from Oklahoma as she can get\, vowing that she will let nothing get in the way of pursuing the rigorous physical and academic training she knows she will need to be accepted by NASA\, and ultimately\, to go to the moon. \nTold through an intricately woven tapestry of narrative\, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive novel of mothers and daughters\, love and sacrifice\, alienation and heartbreak\, terror and wonder. At its core\, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths to which one woman will go to find space for herself. \nAbout the author \nEliana Ramage holds an MFA in fiction from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She has received residencies and fellowships from the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, Lambda Literary\, Tin House\, and Vermont Studio Center. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation\, she lives in Nashville with her family. To the Moon and Back is her first novel.
