Subject: Clyde Edgerton Returns To McIntyre’s Fine Books at Fearrington!
Pittsboro – Saturday, August 16th at 11am, McIntyre’s is delighted to welcome one of our favorite authors back to Fearrington. Award-winning author and North Carolina native Clyde Edgerton returns to read from his latest novel entitled The Bible Salesman.
This new novel tells the story of Preston Clearwater, who has been a criminal since stealing two chain saws and 1600 pairs of aviator sunglasses from the Army during the Second World War. Back on the road in post-war North Carolina, a member of a car-theft ring, he picks up hitch-hiking Henry Dampier, an innocent nineteen-year-old Bible salesman. Clearwater immediately recognizes Henry as just the associate he needs.
Clyde Edgerton is the author of seven best-sellers, including Raney, Walking Across Egypt, and Where Trouble Sleeps. Five of his novels have been New York Times Notable Books. Edgerton was born and raised in North Carolina and earned a degree in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Also a musician and song-writer, he lives with his wife, Kristina, and their children in Wilmington, North Carolina. He has visited McIntyre’s Fine Books many times over the years and we are delighted to welcome him back to read from this new work.
This event is free and open to the public. McIntyre’s Fine Book at Fearrington is located eight miles south of Chapel Hill on U.S. 15-501 in Fearrington Village. For more information please call (919) 542-3030,
