Join us for the world premiere of Honeysuckle Season by Willie Davis. This book won the James Baker Hall Book Award for 2025. Unfolding over a single day, Honeysuckle Season tells the story of a circus van travelling through Hazard, Kentucky careens off the road, smashing into a line of parked cars, killing a local basketball star. In Honeysuckle Season, twelve different narrators offer their take on that event and its aftermath, each story complimenting, deepening, and undermining the stories that came before.
Willie Davis's writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Kenyon Review, Salon, StorySouth, and The Berkeley Fiction Review amongst other places. He is the winner of The Willesden Herald Review (judged by Zadie Smith) and the Katherine Ann Porter Prize (judged by Amy Hempel).
