Saturday, April 21, 2007, 1-3 PM, is the statewide launch date for “Louisiana in Words“.
“Although there have been plenty of “day in the life” picture books, never before has a book sought to capture a single day in a state with words like this. Created from submissions received from the world over, this anthology offers an authentic diary of Louisiana. One hundred twenty nonfiction selections from known and unknown writers run chronologically from dawn to dawn, each capturing one minute in time. From Tallulah to Thibodaux, Shreveport to St. Martinville, New Iberia to New Orleans, together these minutes provide a mosaic of the landscape, heritage, speech, and traditions of Louisiana unlike anything before them.”
The book’s contributors will be present at simultaneous events across the state on this date, so it should not be hard to find an event near you. All of the events will feature contributors reading from the book and signing copies after the event. Many will have a short Q & A session with the authors as well, once they have all finished reading. A complete list of the events is available from Pelican Publishing.
Christian Champagne will be at the Garden District Book Shop event along with Iain Baird, Gina Ferrara, Fredrick Barton, Kelly Wilson, and Sunday Angleton.
