June Little Lecture - An Afternoon with Author Mesha Maren

Join us Sunday, July 20th, for our final lecture in a series that highlights the "Current Voices in Appalachia" at our historic headquarters, Charleston's MacFarland-Hubbard house.

The series is one of the many ways the Humanities Council shares our historic property with the community. Seating is limited (thus “Little” Lectures) and reservations are suggested. Admission is $10 per person and includes refreshments after the lecture. When the weather is nice refreshments are enjoyed outdoors under our pergola.

This month, we are happy to welcome Author Mesha Maren, who frequently mines her Greenbrier County upbringing across three novels (and counting): Sugar Run (2013), Perpetual West (2022), and Shae (2023). A writer whose “sentences shimmer with precision, elegance, and grit,” Maren is currently an Associate Professor of the Practice of English at Duke University. She is the recipient of the 2015 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize. The author will share selections from her books and discuss Appalachia’s place in contemporary literature.

This year’s program is made possible in part by generous funding from the Herscher Foundation.
