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.
Deborah Jackson Taffa at The NewSouth Bookstore Thursday, June 20 at 5:30pm!
June 20 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
The reviews in for Deborah Taffa’s new memoir are many and starred, and include praise from Oprah and the New York Times. Whiskey Tender is a Native American story which is unexpected and propulsive, indeed tender, but also bold and beautifully told. It’s a memoir of family and survival, coming of age on and off the reservation, and of the frictions between mainstream American culture and Native identity. A fascinating work, full of humanity, and a fascinating story, which luckily Taffa will join us at the bookstore to tell. Mark your calendars to be with us on Thursday, June 20 at 5:30pm.
