At long last, one of the follow ups to
Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains
has been published! For my birthday last week, my sister bought me
Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont: A Guidebook
by Georgann Eubanks. I've skimmed most of the book so far, but just can't wait to start checking things off as I have done in the past year or so in
Asheville and
Hendersonville, NC. At first glance, there are a lot of fun things to check out: the residences of Betty Smith (author of
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
), all the authors living in Hillsborough (Lee Smith, Hal Crowther, Allan Gurganus, Jill McCorkle and sometimes Annie Dillard) and NC Central University where Zora Neale Hurston taught briefly, to name a few.
