Dear Gentle Reader,

Big News in the McIntyre’s world. We are delighted to announce that this year we are cosponsoring Our State magazine’s Book Club with Wiley Cash. Not only are we offering 20% off on selected titles, we are also hosting quarterly Book Club meetings in the Barn with Wiley and some featured authors. Go online to check out Our State and Wiley’s podcasts with Allan Gurganus on January 7th and 21st, as they talk about his collection of novellas, Local Souls. Local Souls is available at McIntyre’s with a 20% discount.

Allan Gurganus is widely translated, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Adaptations of his fiction have earned four Emmys, and his stories have been appearing in The New Yorker since 1974. His novel,The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, sold over 4 million copies and won the Sue Kaufman Prize.

On Thursday, March 20th, at 7pm join us in the Fearrington Barn as Wiley Cashhosts Our State Book Club authors Jason Mott (The Returned) and Judy Goldman (Together). Tickets are $50 and include wine and hors d’oeuvres and scintillating discussion. Buy all three featured books, and we can ship the trio to one address for free.

Tickets will be available for the shindig in the Barn soon, so stay tuned.

The Usual Suspects,

Pete, Johanna, Sarah, Tyler, Beth, Amy and Keebe
