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.
Historian Dominic Erdozain’s “brilliant and gut-wrenching” (NYTimes) takedown of American gun culture is a new book and the subject of the talk he will give at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, May 16 at 5:30pm. We are so fortunate to have Erdozain — a graduate of Oxford and Cambridge, currently a visiting professor at Emory University — stop at the store with his newly released One Nation Under Guns: How Gun Culture Distorts Our History and Threatens Our Democracy, which one critic says “goes wide and deep on the critical issues.” This is going to be a fascinating program. Don’t miss it.
