Avid Bookshop will present Georgia Review editor Stephen Corey on Friday, June 2, 2017, in celebration of his book Startled at the Big Sound: Essays Personal, Literary, and Cultural. 

The essays, written across three decades, variously describe, analyze, and meditate upon Corey’s concurrent lives as family member, publishing writer, editor for a major literary journal, and cultural-political observer of the broader world within which he has lived while experiencing his smaller realms.

The event is free and open to the public.
