We'll be hosting Rick Bass as he discusses his new novel, Nashville Chrome. The novel takes place in the late 1950s and recounts the tale of the Brown siblings, a family band enjoying unprecedented international success, rivaled only by their longtime friend Elvis Presley. By turns mesmerizing and heartbreaking, the novel jumps between the Browns’ promising past and harsh present. Nashville Chrome hits all the right grace notes with its vivid evocation of an era in American music, while at its heart it is a wrenching meditation on the complexities of fame and of one family—forgotten yet utterly unforgettable when reclaimed by Bass.
Rick Bass' fiction has received O. Henry Awards, numerous Pushcart Prizes, awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, among others. Most recently, his memoir Why I Came West was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. Check out Nashville Chrome and don't miss Rick Bass in the store on September 13th.
