Edgerton will perform at SCC on Oct. 25

The public is invited to join acclaimed author Clyde Edgerton for an afternoon of entertainment in the South- eastern Community College Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 1 p.m. The bestselling author will read from his new novel, “The Night Train,” and take questions from the audi- ence. Following the performance, Edgerton will sign copies of the book, which will be avail- able for purchase and there will be a reception in the lobby of A-Building. The author, also a talented musician who plays the keyboard, banjo, mando- lin, and guitar, will treat the audience to several songs that evoke the musical theme of his latest book. Edgerton has written nine novels, including “The Bible Salesman,” which is taught in literature courses at SCC and colleges and universities across the country. His other Clyde Edgerton titles include “Raney,” “Walk- ing Across Egypt” and “Lunch but he was an acquaintance.
