True Story! reading series return to Kavarna tonight
Atlanta isn’t home to a plethora of reading series, but we do have a few. Solar Anus, Poetry at Tech, and the always-massive lineup at the Georgia Center for the Book come to mind, but True Story! sets itself apart as a venue exclusively for literary non-fiction. Tonight’s lineup includes locals Jamie Allen (Slate, Missouri Review, and McSweeneys.net), Jim May (editor-in-chief of New South), and Hugh Sheehy (Best American Mystery Stories 2008, The Kenyon Review, The Antioch Review).
True Story! has a short preview of the writers on its Facebook, or you could just check out this great piece by Allen on McSweeney’s. Inside Access has a nice interview with True Story! founders Kate Sweeney and Dionne Irving, as well.
The reading starts at 8 p.m. tonight at Kavarna.
