This guidebook is the first of three regional volumes that invite
residents and out-of-state visitors to explore North Carolina while
reading literature from our state's finest writers. Organized
geographically through a series of eighteen half-day and day-long
tours in the western part of the state, the book directs curious
travelers to the historic sites where Tar Heel authors have lived
and worked. Along the way, travelers can read outstanding excerpts
from the writers, evoking the places, customs, colloquialisms, and
characters that figure prominently in their poetry, fiction,
creative nonfiction, and plays. More than 170 writers from the past
and present are featured in this volume, including Sequoyah,
Elizabeth Spencer, Fred Chappell, Charles Frazier, Kathryn
Stripling Byer, Robert Morgan, William Bartram, Gail Godwin, O.
Henry, Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anne Tyler, Lillian
Jackson Braun, Nina Simone, and Romulus Linney. Each tour provides
information about the libraries, museums, colleges, bookstores, and
other venues open to the public where writers regularly present
their work or are represented in exhibits, events, performances,
and festivals.
