Jackson Reads

With wit, charm and insight, Southern authors portray the phenomenon of social networking, especially among Southern women. Join the discussion on Monday evenings from July 11 to August 8 in Hartley Recital Hall located in Jennings Hall on Union’s campus.

Each evening the social networks formed by Hannah Coulter and Mattie Rigsbee, two memorable Southern ladies, will be compared / contrasted with the “memberships” formed by their counterparts in other pieces of Southern fiction.
