Nov 5📢 Atlanta!📢 We're bringing Open Book back to Larakin (@larakinatl) on Wednesday, December 9 from 6-8PM EST. Chosen by Carolinas Editor at Large Robert Alan Grand (@robertalangrand), we'll be reading 'Biography of X' in collaboration with our Asheville and virtual Open Book clubs. 'Biography of X' can be purchased in-person in Atlanta at A Capella Books. Learn more about the book club at the link in bio. — Held in-person and virtually, Open Book is a literary program for curious readers who are interested in engaging with stories touching on both art and our coverage region of the South and Caribbean. At a time marked by AI-generated content and declining reading habits, Open Book serves as a space for critical thinking, thoughtful discussion, and gathering. Through this program, we hope to continue fostering a community of engaged readers across our coverage region and beyond. Biography of X was published in 2023 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. From FSG: “When X—an iconoclastic artist, writer, and polarizing shape-shifter—falls dead in her office, her widow, CM, wild with grief and refusing everyone’s good advice, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified. Though X was recognized as a crucial creative force of her era, she kept a tight grip on her life story. Not even CM knows where X was born, and in her quest to find out, she opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, betrayals, and destruction. All the while, she immerses herself in the history of the Southern Territory, a fascist theocracy that split from the rest of the country after World War II, and which finally, in the present day, is being forced into an uneasy reunification.” Learn more about Open Book and Burnaway at burnaway.org.Latest
