Conversation with Pete Candler on his Book "A Deeper South"

  • Politics and Prose 5015 Connecticut Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20008 United States (map)

Join me for an author talk with Pete Candler about how Pete's road trips through the American South led to a personal confrontation with history in his new book, A Deeper South.

In A Deeper South: The Beauty, Mystery, and Sorrow of the Southern Road, Pete Candler offers a travel narrative drawn from twenty-five years of road-tripping through the backroads of the American South. Featuring Candler's own photography, the book taps into the public imagination and the process of both remembering and forgetting that define our collective memory of place.
