In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Today Editor-in-Chief Marshall Ramsey sits down with award-winning author W. Ralph Eubanks to talk about his book, A place like Mississippi. A place like Mississippi takes readers on a comprehensive tour of the real and imagined landscapes that have inspired generations of authors.
Eubanks is also the author of two other books: Ever Is a Long Time: A Journey into Mississippi’s Dark Past (Basic Books) and The House at the End of the Road: The Story of Three Generations of an Interracial Family in the American South (HarperCollins) and recently won the Nonfiction Award for A Place Like the Mississippi: A Journey Through a Real and Imaginary Literary Landscape Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.
