Jayne Anne Phillips will speak at Signal Mountain Library on November 2. Photo by Elena Siebert. On November 2 at 6:30 p.m., distinguished author Jayne Anne Phillips will speak in the Gallery in our lower level. Ms. Phillips will be in in town to address the Southern Lit Alliance’s SouthWord conference to be held November 3 and 4 and has graciously agreed to speak here.
Phillips is the author of five novels – “Quiet Dell,” “Lark and Termite,” “MotherKind,” “Shelter” and “Machine Dreams.” She has also written two widely anthologized story collections, “Fast Lanes,” and “Black Tickets.”
“Quiet Dell” was selected as a Wall Street Journal Best Fiction of 2013 and a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2013 selection. “Lark and Termite,” winner of the Heartland Prize, was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and a Prix de Medici Étranger finalist. Her other books were also awarded numerous prizes.
Phillips will speak about her last novel, “Quiet Dell,” and read from it. Based on a true story, “Quiet Dell” is the compelling tale of a con man who took advantage of widows. It is fiction of the highest caliber by an author at the top of her craft.
It is indeed a privilege for the Signal Mountain Library to host Jayne Anne Phillips. Call the library at (423) 886-7323 for more information and come early for a good parking space.
