Southern Literature Festival
The literary community pays homage to author/teacher/mentor George Garrett as part of the University of Tennessee's Southern Literature Festival this week, and to mark the occasion, Metro Pulse publishes works from some of Knoxville's Southern writers and poets whom you're bound to read more about and more of as time goes regionally by.

Citybeat
Mike Gibson reveals just what those recent downtown pickets from out of Texas had in mind, and Jack Neely describes the right-to-die as the reason-for-a-club here.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan presents Bill Haslam with the challenges he faces in the Knoxville mayoralty in Insights, Brian Conley posts an open letter to the mayor-elect in A Note from the Publisher, and Jack Neely gives the notion of facadectomy the double take in Secret History.


Blue Who?
Sarah Van Arsdale snagged the 2002 Peter Taylor Prize for her subtly wrought novel of a woman with amnesia. Paige M. Travis gets inside her thoughts.

Leslie Wylie finds out what drives the Mitch Rutman Group, one of the hardest working bands in K-town. And Jonathan Frey talks with jazz collaborator Mulgrew Miller about his upcoming concert with the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra. In Eye on the Scene, Madame Georgie gets the axe.

Where does Knoxville think it is—Portland? Heck, we can have an art parade of Illustrious Ladies from Skin City if we want. Heather Joyner gets the scoop from artist Jessica Meyer.

French author Michel Houellebecq writes about some really unlikeable people. But, says John Sewell, that won't stop you from reading Platform.
