In Conversation with Frye Gaillard
Jan 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Hub City Writers Project

Writer Frye Gaillard will be visiting Hub City Bookshop at 7pm on January 15 to speak about his new book A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibilities, and Innocence Lost.

Frye Gaillard has written extensively on Southern history and culture, receiving many honors throughout his distinguished career. Now, Gaillard gives us a deeply personal history, bringing his keen storyteller’s eye to a pivotal time in American life. In A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost, he explores the competing story arcs of tragedy and hope through the political and social movements of the times — civil rights, black power, women’s liberation, the War in Vietnam and the protests against it. But he also examines the cultural manifestations of change — in music, literature, art, religion, and science — and so we meet not only the Brothers Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, but also Gloria Steinem, Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, Harper Lee, Mister Rogers, Rachel Carson, James Baldwin, Andy Warhol, Billy Graham, Thomas Merton, Angela Davis, the Berrigan Brothers, and many others.

“There are many different ways to remember the sixties,” Gaillard writes, “and this is mine. There was in these years the sense of a steady unfolding of time, as if history were on a forced march, and the changes spread to every corner of our lives. As future historians debate the meaning of the decade, I hope to offer a sense of how it felt to have lived it. A Hard Rain is one writer’s reconstruction of a transcendent era.”

Frye Gaillard is a writer in residence at the University of South Alabama and John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at The University of Mississippi. He is the author of more than 20 books, including Go South to Freedom, Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family’s Civil War Letters, and The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir. Gaillard is the winner of the Lillian Smith Award, the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction, and most recently, the 2016 Eugene Current-Garcia Award for Distinction in Literary Scholarship.

Napoleon, Chautauqua History Comes Alive Talk, Free
Jan 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Hughes Main Library, 25 Heritage Green Pl, Greenville, SC 29601

Join an audience that loves talking back to history to discuss Napoleon and the Age of Revolution – with Monique Glass, President of Alliance Francaise and recipient of the “Chevalier de l’Ordre des Palmes Academiques” from the French government.

No military figure in history has been quite as polarizing as Napoleon Bonaparte. Was he a monster, driven by an endless, ruinous quest for military glory? Or a social and political visionary brought down by petty, reactionary kings of Europe? Let’s talk about it.

This event is NOT a costumed performance. Mark Schneider, from Colonial Williamsburg, will perform as Napoleon in Winter Chautauqua (Feb 1,2,3)

FREE event and parking
