KEYNOTE OPENING EVENT! SEPT. 5 CASEY CEP THURSDAY Kathryn Schulz photo: FREE 7 p.m. | Hanesbrands Theatre, 209 North Spruce Street, Winston-Salem Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot and killed him at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted— thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who had traveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research 17 years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting and many more years working on her own version of the case. Now Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of Lee, one of the country’s most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity. After graduating from Harvard with a degree in English, Cep earned an MPhil in theology at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The New Republic, among other publications. From the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Furious Hours is her first book. Free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Pre-order Furious Hours to enjoy reserved seating. Visit bookmarksnc.org to order. A booksigning will follow Cep’s talk. 4 KEYNOTE OPENING EVENT!
