The NewSouth Bookstore actively hosts bookstore and off-site literary programs — book talks and readings — along with a variety of other programs both entertaining and educational. These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.
A new novel by Angela Jackson-Brown brings her to The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday, January 28 at 5:30pm. Former Alabama Writers’ Forum executive director Jeanie Thompson will lead the author in conversation about Untethered, her new novel, set in Troy, Alabama. It’s a dramatic and emotionally engrossing story about a Black woman and the burdens she shoulders, for herself and family, during the Vietnam War. Jackson-Brown is a novelist to watch! Come meet her and enjoy discovering her storytelling gifts.
