Event Description:
In this unflinching and moving memoir, John T. Edge takes us on a quest for home in a South that has both held him close and pushed him away as he tries and fails and tries again to rewrite the stories he inherited. Born in a house where a Confederate general took his first breath and the Lost Cause narrative was gospel, troubled by the violence he witnessed as a boy, Edge ran from his past, searching for a newer and better South. As founding director of the Southern Foodways Alliance and a contributor to newspapers and magazines, he told stores that showcased those possibilities.
