The theme of the 2021 Festival is “Are All Stories True?” For more information, go to https://fscottfestival.org/

"In this singular collection, John Edgar Wideman, the acclaimed author of Writing to Save a Life, blends the personal, historical, and political to invent complex, charged stories about love, death, struggle, and what we owe each other. With characters ranging from everyday Americans to Jean-Michel Basquiat to Nat Turner, American Histories is a journey through time, experience, and the soul of our country"--(Amazon, retrieved 7/24/21)
