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.
