Novello Novello Festival Press This remarkable collection celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Novello Festival of Reading, one of the premier literary events in the country. Each of the twenty-five contributors to this book has appeared at Novello. Some of the essays and stories may be familiar to readers, but many appear here for the first time; together they represent a sampler of the best writing of our time. Charles Kuralt reminisces about a time when old ways began to give way to modern life. Pat Conroy crafts a raw and wryly funny remembrance of his father, Donald Conroy, the inspiration for The Great Santini. In a selection chosen by the author, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Halberstam offers a look back at his early career. Novelists Lee Smith and Nanci Kincaid chose works that were in progress when this volume was published, and Sandra Govan, a scholar and professor of African American literature, tells a true-life story about her childhood “bibliomania” and where it led.
Reviews “Reading this anthology is like walking among the redwoods . . . the giants of contemporary literature are here in this powerful and entertaining collection.”
