“Delbridge knows sorrow like she knows the rhythm
of her own heart. . . . Fans of Carson McCullers won't want to miss
this one—witty, tragic, and relentlessly wise.”—Booklist, starred review

Melissa Delbridge, author of this intense, funny and
tragic memoir of growing up in the deep South, joins Monica and
Caroline on Writers' Voices this week. "Family Bible" was published by
the University of Iowa Press as part of their Sightline Books: the Iowa
Series in Literary Nonfiction.

Delbridge has published essays and short stories in the Antioch Review, Southern Humanities Review, Third Coast, and other journals. She is an archivist in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke University.

Join us Friday at 1 pm or Monday at 8 am for this exploration of the modern memoir form.
