We welcome Gerry Wilson to The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday, June 11 at 5:30pm. Bart Barton will lead her in conversation about her first novel, That Pinson Girl. Told against the backdrop of the deprivation of World War I and the tragedies of the influenza epidemic, That Pinson Girl unfolds in lyrical, unflinching prose, engaging the timeless issues of racism, sexism, and poverty. Wilson is a recipient of a Mississippi Arts Commission Literary Arts Fellowship. Her story collection, Crosscurrents and Other Stories, was nominated for the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Fiction Award. Come discover the work of this fine writer as we celebrate the release of her newest book.
