Information
In 1999 Janisse Ray published Ecology of a Cracker Childhood. She spent a week soon after in Spartanburg as writer in residence for the Lawson’s Fork River Festival organized by the Hub City Writers Project. While she was here she woke one morning, and the New York Times had published a full-page profile saying, “The forests of the Southeast find their Rachel Carson.” Ecology Cracker Childhood has since sold around 200,000 copies in various editions and Janisse Ray has become one of the South’s beloved and admired writers. Wofford is proud to celebrate the book’s 20th anniversary.
