Watch NBF Presents: Secrets of the South

Join National Book Award–honored authors Jericho Brown (The Tradition, 2019 Poetry Finalist), Tayari Jones (An American Marriage, 2018 Fiction Longlist), and Deesha Philyaw (The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, 2020 Fiction Finalist) for a conversation on Southern literature and how Black writers are redefining stereotypes of the South, one poem, story, and secret at a time.

Moderated by Kiese Laymon, author of, most recently, Heavy: An American Memoir.

Books are available for purchase at Bookshop.org with thanks to this season’s bookseller, Loyalty Bookstores.
