As part of the annual literary festival in honor of Faulkner’s birthday, I will be a part of a week’s worth of talks, panels, and critiques aimed at bringing up the next generation of greatness.

The talk is one I’ve been wanting to give for a long time, sitting in my notes labeled as “how to” — that I wrote directly after finishing the research, in order to capture my steps in finding Mary’s story for others to follow.

Also, there’s going to be cafe au lait and croissants and it’s held at Bon Appetit’s featured “new restaurant” the Hotel Peter and Paul.
