We just got the new book about James Alan McPherson, “On Becoming An American Writer: Essays & Nonfiction.” Well, new to us anyway. It was published in 2023.
I started reading the book yesterday. Sena and I talked about it and she’ll read it herself. I started in the middle, by reading “Crabcakes.” I usually start with page one. I’m not sure it matters where you start.
Reminder: There will be a musical performance on July 22, 2026 at James Alan McPherson Park by Stephanie Catlett with Dan Padley & Tara McGovern from 6:30-8:00 PM, 1858 7th Ave Ct, Iowa City, IA 52240.
