Virginia Festival of the Book presents Southern Landscapes – Real and Imagined

The Virginia Festival of the Book returns to The Paramount Theater on Saturday, March 19 at 7 p.m. with the program Southern Landscapes – Real and Imagined.

Authors Ralph Eubanks (A Place Like Mississippi), Jocelyn Nicole Johnson (My Monticello), and Imani Perry (South to America) take center stage at this Festival headliner event to discuss the storied fact and fiction of the American South. The famed storytellers of Mississippi, short stories of the near future in central Virginia, and a historian’s travelogue of the southern states together provide a multigenre exploration of the region and what it means to belong to this place.

Moderated by Justin Reid. Book sales and signing will follow. For more details, visit VaBook.org.
