Summer Lovin'

A Teen-Age Dwarf, an Extra-Marital Affair, the Dark History of the South and a Voice That Would Put Susan Boyle to Shame: This is Summer Love Like You’ve Never Felt it Before

Authors Rachel DeWoskin and Steve Yarbrough Read from Novels That Will Make Your Brain and Heart Sizzle

June 4, 2011 @ 7p.m.

Break out the fans and the cold drinks and join us for an evening of love, sex, song and murder. Authors Rachel DeWoskin and Steve Yarbrough roam from Michigan to Mississippi and from the halls of high school to the small towns of the South, exploring sexual politics, history, race, youth and innocence. The cruelties are casual and the flings are deadly serious.

On the program:

Rachel DeWoskin (Big Girl Small) reading from her fierce, brilliant new novel, which features the unforgettable Judy Lohden, a 3 foot 9 inch tall, 16-year-old musical phenom, who finds herself at the center of a scandal about to go viral.

Steve Yarbrough (Safe from the Neighbors) sharing his fictional world of Loring, MS. In this haunting, beautiful novel, which spans the civil rights era and the contemporary Delta, love tangles with murder and no one can escape history.

All events are free and open to the public. Come turn up the heat!
