Book Club: Surviving Savannah, with Author Patti Callahan Henry

*My apologies for slightly inferior audio here, our connection was not fantastic and neither of us were in our usual office!*For the season's inaugural book episode, I'm honored to bring you a candid and nuanced conversation with author Patti Henry; her work Surviving Savannah explores (through historical fiction) the sinking of the southern steamship Pulaski in the first half of the nineteenth century. We spoke about everything from her research process and the wild synchronicities within it to shipwreck artifact retrieval to the importance of shedding light on the history of slavery in America. This was a dynamic chat and I thank Patti for taking the time!Find her website here, where you can link to her books, her bio, and her podcast on the Pulaski and the almost-unbelievable journey of Surviving Savannah: https://www.patticallahanhenry.comLOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
