Pete Candler at The Book Tavern

Thursday, June 6th || 6 – 9 p.m. || The Book Tavern 

Join photographer & writer Pete Candler sharing from his new book, A Deeper South: The Beauty, Mystery, and Sorrow of the Southern Road. In A Deeper South, Pete Candler offers a travel narrative drawn from twenty-five year of road-tripping through the backroads of the American South. Featuring Candler’s own photography, the stories that he uncovers can only be found off the beaten path, away from the curated tourist experiences and mass culture located near the interstate exit ramps. Candler, who belongs to one of the Georgia’s most recognizable families, confronts the uncomfortable truth of his own descendants’ roles in the South legacy of white supremacy with a masterful mix of authority and humbling sense that his own journey has only just begun.
