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.
Jonathan Rigsby spends his days as a crime intelligence analyst and nights as an Uber driver. Reeling from a divorce and struggling to pay rent while caring for his autistic son, Rigsby became a rideshare driver, joining the millions of people with a side hustle just to make ends meet. With a compelling blend of honesty and wit, Rigsby invites readers in Drive into his car to reveal the harsh reality of gig work. Drive is an engaging personal story and a chronicle for social change. The author joins us at The NewSouth Bookstore on July 11 at 5:30pm.
