In case you haven’t heard, Mary Ward Brown was here last Tuesday. I still have this wonderful and inspiring woman on my mind. She read to us from her memoir, the last section in which she gives readers a book tour of her house. Anyone who loves to read and loves books would enjoy reading this essay. I am going to read it again because Ms. Brown lists some of her favorite short story writers . . . I would like to make sure I have read them, too.

Mark wrote such a thoughtful blog relating to a theme that Mary Ward Brown touches on in her memoir: the isolation of the writer. If you get a chance, it’s worth the read.

Thank you Mary Ward Brown for coming to Lemuria! And also, a big thank you to Beth from Alabama Press for helping her make the trip!
