With:

KathrynStockett, a white southern writer from Jackson, Mississippi, has chosen to tell the story of black maids in the old South, and to write in old-fashioned dialect. Her decision defied political correctness, but it has paid off. Some bloggers have called the book racist; others call it brave. The Huffington Post explained the success this way: “The Help is about something. That is, something real. Something that matters.” Join us for an evening with a new literary star.
