Little Lecture - A Place Called Solid: West Virginia Re-Imagined in the Novel
WVHC Event
March 06, 2016
Charleston, Kanawha
Glenn Taylor is among West Virginia’s most prominent contemporary authors. His book The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Taylor’s writing is rooted in West Virginia with Trenchmouth Taggart, The Marrowbone Marble Company, and A Hanging at Cinder Bottom all set in the Mountain State. He will discuss the potential of the novel in helping re-tool the public consciousness toward a more complex understanding of our state and its people.
The Little Lectures are informal programs featuring speakers on a variety of topics. Programs are presented on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. at our headquarters located at 1310 Kanawha Boulevard, East, Charleston, in the parlor of MacFarland-Hubbard House.
Admission is $10. Call 304-346-8500 to confirm seating.
