Wednesday, 16 April, 4:30pm, Perkins Library, Biddle Rare Book Room

Melissa Delbridge will read and sign Family Bible, a collection of her short stories just published by the University of Iowa Press.  Reynolds Price says, “Melissa Delbridge’s memories of her early life are dead-accurate, hilarious, and tragic and will surely prove enduring as a guide to the Deepest South—a place and a culture that continue to prove alarmingly vital.”  Melissa has published essays and short stories in the Antioch Review, Southern Humanities Review, Third Coast, and other journals.  She is an archivist at Duke’s Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library.  Sponsored by the Duke University Libraries.
