SUMMARY:Robert Busby in conversation with Ace Atkins for Bodock
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nIn 1994\, the real Mid-South Ice Storm strikes the fictitious town of Bodock in Claygardner County\,Mississippi. In the wake of the storm\, what is left unbroken\, and what broken things can be rebuilt? Hailed by Maurice Carlos Ruffin as “leaving no feeling untouched\,” Robert Busby’s debut balances grit with heart\, violence with depth\, and tragedy with humor. Two siblings survey the damage to their family’s orchard after the storm while their rich nephew circles in the hopes of buying up the property. A slacker divorcee drives his ex-father-in-law to his lung transplant surgery. A cop tries to piece his broken family back together in the wake of the loss of his son. In 1816\, a farmer’s wife plots with an enslaved woman to stop her husband from committing a terrible act. And in a town that is not quite Bodock\, a population of ghosts reckon with their unsettled pasts. In the spirit of Brad Watson’s Last Days of the Dog-Men\, Bodock traverses time and dimensions to surface the struggles of the everyday. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the author \nRobert Busby grew up in the hill country of North Mississippi and has worked as a bandsaw operator\, bookseller\, copywriter\, driving school instructor\, powder coater\, prep cook\, produce clerk\, teacher\, and satellite television technician. A graduate of the University of Mississippi\, he got his MFA in Fiction from Florida International University\, and his stories have appeared in Arkansas Review\, Cold Mountain Review\, Footnote\, Mississippi Noir\, PANK\, Pleiades\, Sou’wester\, Surreal South\, and others. Currently\, he writes\, runs\, and raises two humans with his wife in Memphis\, TN. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the conversation partner \nAce Atkins is an award-winning\, New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty novels and numerous short stories. A former college football player and newspaper reporter\, he’s a recent recipient of the Richard Wright Award for excellence in Southern Literature and a member of the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame. He lives with his wife Angela and two children in Oxford\, Mississippi.

SUMMARY:Lauren Rhoades in conversation with Mary Miller for Split the Baby
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nIn honest and captivating prose\, Split the Baby chronicles the toll of divorce and family rupture from the perspective of a child who was nearly torn in two. Lauren Rhoades retells her experience of growing up caught between two homes run by equally strong women: a fervently Catholic stepmother and a deeply sensitive Jewish mother. Pulled toward radically distinct family cultures with rich but conflicting religious traditions\, the young girl struggles to reconcile her stepmother’s possessive charm with her mother’s fierce and vulnerable love. \nWorking with a trove of salvaged documents—including psychological evaluations\, legal records\, and personal family diaries—Rhoades searches for answers to questions of identity\, spirituality\, and the relationships that most deeply shape us. Ultimately\, this debut memoir-in-pieces is a thoughtful story of learning to become whole again. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the author \nLauren Rhoades is a writer\, editor\, and grantmaker living in Jackson\, Mississippi. Originally from Denver\, Colorado\, Lauren has served with AmeriCorps\, started Mississippi’s first fermentation company\, and helmed the Eudora Welty House & Garden. She is now director of grants at the Mississippi Arts Commission and a host of MPB’s The Mississippi Arts Hour. In 2022\, Lauren founded Rooted Magazine\, an online publication dedicated to telling unfiltered stories about what it means to call Mississippi home. She holds an MFA in creative writing from the Mississippi University for Women. Split the Baby is her first book. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAbout the conversation partner \nMary Miller is the author of two novels\, Biloxi and The Last Days of California\, as well as two short story collections\, Always Happy Hour and Big World. Her fiction has appeared in The Paris Review\, the Oxford American\, McSweeney’s Quarterly\, Norton’s Seagull Book of Stories\, and Pushcart Prize XLIV\, among others.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH Michael Farris Smith in conversation with John T Edge for Lay Your Armor Down
DESCRIPTION:A dark Southern tale of desperate souls who’ve wound up on the road of poor choices \nMichael Farris Smith in conversation with John T Edge for the launch of Lay Your Armor Down\, a “prophetic\, propulsive tale” of a messianic child with untold powers\, and those out hunting her for their own reward\, told in Smith’s trademark mournful\, spirit-gnawing prose. \nAbout the book \n“Michael Farris Smith possesses a conductor’s mastery and a lead singer’s swagger\, and Lay Your Armor Down demands that you pay attention.” – Wright Thompson \nAn old woman\, riddled with dementia\, walks off into\nthe woods in the middle of the night. A light in the\nwood draws her to a campfire with two strange\,\ndangerous men\, one young and one old\, who are\nthere plotting a crime of as-yet-indeterminate\npurpose. The two men have a job to do. They are\nhunting something precious but have only been told:\nyou’ll know it when you see it. When they arrive at\nthe place\, an abandoned church cellar in the\nburned-out countryside\, they find an answer they never could have predicted. Now\, the job feels dubious\, one that’ll surely bring them to ruin. Yet if they’re to go against orders\, no step can be undone\, and nothing can be taken back. \nIn spare\, Beckett-like prose\, Lay Your Armor Down reduces the epic to its most elemental. It charts the course of several broken people\, all outrunning danger’s dark fingers\, and all brought together for one last chance at redemption. \nAbout the author \nMichael Farris Smith is an award-winning writer whose novels have appeared on Best of the Year lists with Esquire\, NPR\, Southern Living\, Garden & Gun\, Oprah Magazine\, Book Riot\, and numerous other outlets\, and have been named Indie Next\, Barnes & Noble Discover\, and Amazon Best of the Month selections. As a screenwriter\, he scripted the feature-film adaptations of his novels Desperation Road and The Fighter\, titled for the screen as Rumble Through the Dark. With his band MFS & The Smokes\, Smith wrote and released the record Lostville\, which was produced by Grammy nominee Jimbo Mathus. He lives in Oxford\, Mississippi\, with his wife and daughters. \nAbout the conversation partner \nJohn T Edge is the author of The PotLikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South\, named a best book of 2017 by NPR\, Publisher‘s Weekly\, and a host of others. For twenty-two years\, he served as a columnist for the Oxford American\, and for three years he wrote the United Tastes column for the New York Times. He is director of the Mississippi Lab in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Mississippi\, where his projects include the launch of Greenfield Farm Writers Residency\, set on a parcel of land outside Oxford where William Faulkner once raised mules. From 1999 through 2021\, he was director of the Southern Foodways Alliance. He is also the host of the television show TrueSouth on the SEC Network\, ESPN\, and Hulu. He lives here in Oxford.
