Bound South
by SUSAN REBECCA WHITE
by SUSAN REBECCA WHITE
At our event, PIG OUT, held July 24, 2008, Susan Rebecca White read excerpts from her forthcoming book, Bound South. Husband, Alan Deutschman, entertained us with stories of how a Jewish boy from the North falls in love with a country ham. To prove his point he passed around platters of country ham that he cooked himself. It was an entertaining evening, enjoyed by everyone. We are now excited to announce that Susan Rebbeca White’s book, Bound South, is hitting the bookshelves on February 10th!
Susan’s debut novel is a pitch-perfect depiction of three strong Southern women who embark on distinctly different but ultimately connected journeys to find themselves and their places in the New South.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 18 4 PM
Richard Fleming is an inveterate traveler, photographer, amateur musicologist, sometime deejay, and self-described “rabid birdwatcher” long enamored of the music, culture, and wild places of the Greater Antilles. When not on the road, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Walking to Guantánamo is the title of his first book and the first solo exhibition of photographs taken during that journey.
Despite having a wonderful girlfriend, a downtown Manhattan apartment, and a thriving career, Richard Fleming is afraid that his life is spiraling into “nightmarish mediocrity.” After obsessing over the notion for years, he finally decides that crossing the island of Cuba on foot might somehow rescue him from the fate he fears. Walking to Guantánamo is the chronicle of that journey. Rarely has a book about Cuba been so shorn of pretension, ideological blinders, or misplaced romanticism-and hardly ever has it been so genuinely funny. His text and photographs reveal a popular culture, particularly in music and spiritual life, of deep complexity. A discerning observer of daily life who rejects the clichés of Cuba’s enemies and friends alike, Richard Fleming ranges over the Cuban countryside with a rare ability to distinguish reality from façade and slogan from fact. A companion volume of photographs, The Road to Guantanamo: Images from a Journey through Cuba, is being published with Walking to Guantanamo.

December Show + For-Ever-Green Opening Success!
We had a great time last Saturday evening, going all out with hot apple cider to a merry bonfire. Thank you all for coming out to see the December Show and the For-Ever-Green in its full night time glory. Candles lit along the edge of the garden, marshmallows toasted in the fire, and roaring crowds warmed up to the sip of extra “butter” in our cider.
Watch out for the invitation of our closing reception in January! Let’s continue the festivities well into the new year.
And on that note, feel free to wander into Whitespace garden in the weekend evenings! Whitespace will keep the lights on for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights until 9pm until the show ends January 10th. Enjoy!
S’mores are in order
