About This Event
Don't miss this rare opportunity to sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning and NYT-bestselling author Rick Bragg for an intimate, conversation-style book club session during the Books Along the Teche Literary Festival. One of the great voices of the American South, Bragg brings his signature warmth and storytelling genius to an up-close discussion that you won't find on the main stage.
Space is extremely limited, so this is your chance to engage personally with one of Southern literature's most beloved figures — ask questions, share your thoughts, and experience the kind of literary connection that makes this festival so special.
Registration is required. Secure your spot early, as this session is expected to fill quickly.
