This coming Thursday, November 14, at 7 pm, I will be speaking and showing photographs from my book, Little Worlds, at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. I had originally planned to speak entirely about the book. But that changed when Helene battered our region. I lost 450 copies of Little Worlds in the flood in Marshall. The book, part documentary and part fiction, speaks in both narratives of a worldwide social collapse. Thus, when Helene destroyed our town, it felt like a case of “When Life Imitates Art.”

The auditorium at CDS is a comfortable venue and if you’re in the Triangle I hope you will consider coming. I’m looking forward to it.

After Helene hammered downtown Marshall, I lost 450 copies of my latest book, Little
Worlds. That left me with about 240 copies. I have since sold approximately 70 copies, which leaves me with 170 copies left to sell. I will be doing book talks in the coming weeks for the Board of Trusties at the Duke Endowment, the Light Factory in Charlotte, the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke, and the Madison County Public Library. I do not expect these remaining copies to last long. I have yet to decide on doing a reprint. So, if you are thinking of buying the book as a holiday gift, or perhaps a treat for yourself, head to my website listed below and order a copy. You can be assured that you will own a rare book and a good read. Thank you for your support.
