Headliner · Part of the Southern Gothic Festival
Award-winning novelist and acclaimed Southern Noir writer David Joy joins the festival for a conversation on the complexities of modern Southern identity through the lens of his most recent work, Those We Thought We Knew, and his earlier novel, When These Mountains Burn.
Known for his stark, lyrical prose and deeply human characters, Joy explores themes of race, rural poverty, family, morality, and place—capturing the contradictions and weight of life in the contemporary South. This session will examine how Southern Gothic noir continues to evolve through stories rooted in community, violence, and reckoning.
Free Event · Seating is first come, first served.
