SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR Callie Collins for Walk Softly on This Heart of Mine
DESCRIPTION:About the book \n“Collins debuts with a finely tuned tale of artistic ambition and cultural shifts in the 1970s Texas music scene…Brilliantly conveys the nitty-gritty details of a working musician’s day-to-day. Music lovers will especially dig this.”\n–Kirkus Reviews \nAgainst the vibrant\, bluesy backdrop of 1970s Austin\, Texas\, this shimmering debut follows the collision between hicks and hipsters that ultimately results in tragedy. \nAustin\, Texas is a town in the throes of social upheaval and the Rush Creek Saloon\, five miles on its outskirts\, is a bar without a crowd. Until a strange new house band transforms it from moribund honky-tonk to thriving blues bar. But \nare the throngs of people and the rowdy music worth the chaos that comes with them? \nWalk Softly on This Heart of Mine is told through three perspectives\, each of whom is in some ways responsible for the rebirth of Rush Creek and for the violence that follows in the afterbirth. Doug Moser\, a country-and-blues guitarist from San Antonio\, is seizing his long-awaited chance at fame but cannot turn away from the easy booze and drugs that come with the life. Deanna Teague owns Rush Creek. Her marriage is rocky and so is her sense of herself\, but she sees a crack of light if she can just hold it all together. And Steven Francis is a boy who loves too fiercely. He grapples with his sexuality\, his God\, and his place in a town where he badly wants to belong. \nIn her heartfelt\, electrifying rockabilly ode to a place in a permanent state of becoming\, Collins has captured the roughhousing mood and paradoxical longings of the American psyche. The embrace of both inertia and danger\, the longing for freedom and anarchy even as we crave a place to belong. Walk Softly on This Heart of Mine is a time capsule stuffed with heat and booze\, electric guitar riffs and big\, empty spaces. It’s about the cost of fame—the real price of attention—and what it can do to a person\, to a community\, to a whole damn town. \nAbout the author \nCallie Collins is a queer writer and editor from Texas. She has an MFA from the University of Michigan\, where she was also a 2018-2019 Zell Postgraduate Fellow. She held a Fiction Fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown\, Massachusetts from 2019-2020. She lives in Austin

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR Preston Lauterbach for Before Elvis
DESCRIPTION:About the book \n\n\n\n\n“Preston Lauterbach has long since made a place for himself as the most valuable chronicler of African-American music as a fulcrum and a center of American culture. But here\, with astonishingly detailed and serpentine storytelling\, with no road of intellectual inquiry ever closed\, he has outdone himself.” – Greil Marcus\, author of “Mystery Train\,” “Lipstick Traces\,” and “Folk Music” \nIn this thought-provoking book\, the Black musicians who influenced Elvis Presley’s music finally receive recognition and praise. \nAfter Baz Luhrmann’s movie\, Elvis\, hit theaters\, audiences and critics alike couldn’t help but question the Black origins of Elvis Presley’s music and style\, reigniting a debate that has been circling for decades. In Before Elvis: The African American Musicians Who Made the King\, author Preston Lauterbach answers these questions definitively\, based on new research and extensive\, previously unpublished interviews with the artists who blazed the way and the people who knew them. \n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of continuing conversations about American music and appropriation\, Before Elvis is indispensable. \nAbout the author \nPreston Lauterbach is author of the American music classic The Chitlin’ Circuit\, as well as two secret histories of Black culture\, Beale Street Dynasty and Bluff City. Preston has also co-authored three memoirs with significant figures in Black music\, including Brother Robert (with the stepsister of bluesman Robert Johnson)\, Timekeeper (with Memphis soul drummer Howard Grimes)\, and the forthcoming Spirit of the Century (with the Blind Boys of Alabama). His works have earned “Book of the Year” recognition from the Wall Street Journal\, NPR\, and Rolling Stone. He lives near Charlottesville\, Virginia.

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR Via Bleidner for If You Lived Here You’d be Famous By Now
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nSoon to be the Netflix Series “Calabasas” — from Kim Kardashian\, Marlene King\, and Emma Roberts \nFor Via Bleidner\, transferring to Calabasas High from the private Catholic school she’s attended since second grade is a culture shock\, not to mention absolutely lonely. Suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar world of celebrities\, affluenza\, and McMansions\, Via takes a page from Cameron Crowe and pretends she’s on a journalism assignment\, taking notes on her classmates and jotting down bits of overheard gossip. \nGetting through high school in Calabasas is something else–from Kim Kardashian endorsing the students’ favorite hidden lunch spot\, to the theater program hiring a famous dog to play Elle Woods’ Chihuahua in its production of Legally Blonde\, and Kanye trying to take control of your school to make it the very first YEEZY institution. \nBut instead of floating through high school detached from her peers\, Via finds that putting herself out there–for her writing\, of course–just might have been exactly what she needed. She unexpectedly finds an eclectic group of friends to call her own\, including a multi-multi-millionaire\, a wild-card throwback intent on going viral\, a former Disney actor\, and a doughnut-dealing madman. \nWith wit\, candor\, and sharp observations\, twenty-one-year-old Via grounds the surreal glamour of Calabasas with reflections on her own coming-of-age\, sharing her teenage misadventures as she struggles to fit in\, faces crushing social pressure\, and eventually makes her own way. \nAbout the author \nVia Bleidner grew up in Los Angeles and is currently studying for an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Mississippi. If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous By Now is her debut. It was published when she was 19 and a student at the University of California\, Santa Barbara.

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR Jeff Barry for Go to Hell Ole Miss
DESCRIPTION:To what lengths will a father go to save his daughter? \nBig John\, a former POW in WWII\, thinks women are smarter than men. The three women in his life agree\, especially when he brags about knowing more Shakespeare than anyone else in Hope Springs\, Mississippi. Big John is overly proud of the only seven words of Shakespeare that he knows: The prince of darkness is a gentleman. When Big John and his wife learn their beloved daughter has been beaten to the point of death by the man Big John pressured her to marry\, he needs only three of these words: prince\, darkness\, and gentleman. \nSet in the Mississippi hill country in the early 1970s\, Go to Hell Ole Miss tells the story of a father’s willingness to do almost anything to save his daughter from the Southern gentleman he had pressured her to marry. Almost. \n\n\n\n\nFor fans of Pat Conroy\, Barbara Kingsolver\, Wiley Cash\, and Cormac McCarthy\, Go to Hell Ole Miss is a historical family saga of hope and hardship\, redemption and revenge\, faith and doubt. It’s also a compelling Southern tale with characters that become people who make you laugh\, cry\, and think. \nAbout the author \nJeff Barry is a native Memphian with deep Mississippi roots. After graduate school\, he lived on a small cattle farm like the one featured in Go to Hell Ole Miss. Over the past twenty years\, Jeff has worked in the farmland business in the Mississippi Delta\, taught English in Peru\, and advised farmers in northern Uganda. He now lives in Tennessee with his wife and three children. He enjoys hiking and camping\, loves Hazel\, his yellow Lab\, and likes one of his wife’s three cats.

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR: David Wright Faladé for The New Internationals
DESCRIPTION:About the book\nA stunning novel of post-war Paris that interweaves a coming-of-age story\, a cross-cultural romance\, and a portrait of the international youth at a definitive moment in contemporary history \nParis\, 1947. The city\, recovering from the Nazi occupation\, suffers from an economy in shambles and an unraveled social fabric. Alongside the wary and war-weary population\, American GIs and young people from France’s colonies also pack the city. Cecile Rosenbaum\, from a bourgeois Jewish family that has lost everything\, meets Minette Traor \, a feisty\, French-born girl of Senegalese descent\, on the bus to a Communist Youth Conference. There\, she also meets Sebastien Danxom \, an aspiring architecture student from West Africa\, and romance blooms. \nBack in Paris\, as these young internationals haunt the cafe’s and jazz clubs of the Latin Quarter\, Cecile and Sebastien find their budding love muddied by confused loyalties and unyielding cultural traditions. When Mack Gray\, a charming African-American GI\, sets his sights on Cecile\, her complicated relationship with Sebastien\, as well as her fierce dedication to her newfound political ideologies\, are pushed to the brink. \nNuanced\, powerful\, and sharply realized\, The New Internationalschronicles the post-war awakening and the young women and men who rose up – and came together – in the beginnings of a vibrant political moment\, trying to imagine a better world. \nAbout the author\nDavid Wright Faladé is a professor of English at the University of Illinois. He is the author of the novel Black Cloud Rising\, and coauthor of the young adult novel Away Running and the nonfiction book Fire on the Beach: Recovering the Lost Story of Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Lifesavers\, which was a New Yorker notable selection and a St. Louis-Dispatch Best Book of 2001. The recipient of a Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award\, he has written for the New Yorker\, Village Voice\, Southern Review\, Newsday\, and more.

SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR: Maria Zoccola for Helen of Troy\, 1993
DESCRIPTION:Maria Zoccola for Helen of Troy\, 1993 a sharp\, visceral debut poetry collection reimagines Helen of Troy from Homer’s Iliad as a disgruntled housewife in 1990s Tennessee. \nAbout the book \n“Sinking into Helen of Troy\, 1993 felt like the magic of finding a kindred spirit on the stool next to me in a dive bar. Zoccola’s poems kept me saying\, ‘Yes\, yes exactly.’ In her rendering of the rural South\, she takes things I have felt only indistinctly and delivers them to me with sharp and beautiful and brutal clarity.” —Stacey Swann\, author of Olympus\, Texas \n“I cannot foresee a better book of American poetry published this year.” —Ron Rash\, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Serena and Poems: New and Selected \nPart myth retelling\, part character study\, this sharp\, visceral debut poetry collection reimagines Helen of Troy from Homer’s Iliad as a disgruntled housewife in 1990s Tennessee. \nIn the hills of Sparta\, Tennessee\, during the early nineties\, Helen decides to break free from the life that stifles her: marriage\, motherhood\, the monotonous duties of a Southern housewife. But leaving isn’t the same thing as staying gone… \nBlurring the line between mythology and modernity\, Helen of Troy\, 1993 is an unforgettable collection that shows the Homeric Helen like she’s never been seen before. \nAbout the author \nMaria Zoccola is a poet and educator from Memphis\, Tennessee. She has writing degrees from Emory University and Falmouth University and has spent several years leading creative writing workshops for middle and high school youth.
