Ancestor Trouble is named a best southern book of the year by Garden & Gun Magazine and a best of the year by Entertainment Weekly.
Did “y’all” originate with 17th century English poetry? A particularly interesting follow-up to my letter of recommendation for “y’all” mentions my own evolution on the word in the context of a larger argument from David B. Parker, a professor at Kennesaw State University.
Ancestor Trouble is a best book of 2022, according to The New Yorker, NPR, The Washington Post, Time, and Esquire. It was also a New York Times Editors’ Choice selection. Much gratitude to all the editors and critics who made these decisions and conferred these distinctions in a truly wonderful year for books.
