RICK BRAGG
Thursday, May 22 at 6 p.m.

As a journalist based in Atlanta, Rick Bragg had received widespread praise and attention. Yet it was with the publication of his memoir, All Over But the Shoutin', that his work really found readers across the country. That family account was followed in time by Ava's Man, and now concludes with the newly published The Prince of Frogtown (Knopf). "With this wrenching story of fathers and sons, Pulitzer Prize winner Bragg completes the personal saga he began ... After 40 years of self-proclaimed bachelorhood, Bragg finds himself in the uncomfortable and challenging role of becoming a stepfather. Learning to have a son brings to light the chasm separating Bragg from his own father ... Here, Bragg continues in the vein of his legendary storytelling, breathing life into a father he barely knew while learning to love a son." – Library Journal.
