Wayne Caldwell wins Wolfe award

The WNC Historical Association and the Thomas Wolfe Memorial will host Western North Carolina author Wayne Caldwell from 2-4 p.m. on March 6.

The winner of the 2010 Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award, Wayne Caldwell, will appear in tandem with Stephen Woody, whose grandfather served as a model for Silas Wright, a main character in Caldwell’s recent novel, Requiem by Fire.

Caldwell’s novels are set in Cataloochee Valley, a community in the Smoky Mountains that residents were forced to abandon after the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
