Charles Frazier's April 7 Talk in Roswell: Same-Day Tickets Available

Roswell Reads, in partnership with the City of Roswell and Bookmiser, has announced its first author event of 2024 – an in-person presentation by Charles Frazier, the National Book Award-winning author of “Cold Mountain” and four other novels.

Frazier will discuss his latest work, “The Trackers,” April 7 at 4 p.m. at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, 950 Forrest St., Roswell. Same-day tickets are available online at http://roswellcac.showare.com/RoswellReadspresentsCharlesFrazier, by calling 770-594-6232 or at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. Prices are $20 for Frazier’s presentation only, or $40, which includes an autographed large paperback copy of “The Trackers.” Bookmiser also will have signed copies available for purchase April 7. Additionally, the first 100 attendees to purchase the $40 bundled ticket option will receive reserved priority seating.

After “Cold Mountain” was adapted into a 2003 Academy Award-winning film, Frazier went on to pen the New York Times bestselling novels “Thirteen Moons,” “Nightwoods,” “Varina” and, most recently, “The Trackers.” His books have been translated into more than two dozen languages.

In his latest release, Frazier paints a portrait of life in the Great Depression, conjuring up the lives of everyday people during an extraordinary period of history. The author, who grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina, fills “The Trackers” with the keen perceptions of humanity and storytelling that have become hallmarks of his critically acclaimed, bestselling literary fiction for more than 25 years.

Frazier’s discussion will be moderated by Dr. Gina Caison, the Kenneth M. England Associate Professor of Southern American Literature at Georgia State University. To purchase hardback or paperback copies of “The Trackers,” contact Bookmiser at 770-509-5611.
