Ron Rash returns to City Lights with new paperback edition

City Lights welcomes Ron Rash back to the store at 2 p.m. on Feb. 13 to celebrate the release in paperback of his highly acclaimed short-story collection, Burning Bright.

Rash teaches writing at WCU and is a nationally recognized gem of the Western North Carolina writing community. His previous books include Serena, Saints at the River, The World Made Straight, and One Foot in Eden.

He will “launch” the paperback edition of Burning Bright with this appearance and reading at City Lights. Seating may be limited as turnout is expected to be high, so attendees may want to come early.

For more information, or to reserve a signed copy, call City Lights at 828.586.9499.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
