Come One, Come All! A Celebration of Kathryn Tucker Windham and Her Last Book

On Thursday, October 6^th, 7 pm, The Gnu’s Room will host a celebration of beloved storyteller and writer Kathryn Tucker Windham’s life and work.

When Windham passed away this summer, just after her 93^rd birthday, her new book, She: The Old Woman Who Took Over My Life, was in production. In the wry, personal voice typical of Windham’s work, the new book offers a perspective on life and aging.

She, published by NewSouth Books, will be available for purchase on October 6th.

In addition to the book debut, The Gnu’s Room invites those who loved Windham’s Jeffery stories and those who enjoyed her tale telling in person and on the radio to bring their own ghost stories and reminiscences of Kathryn to share. Drs. Mary Helen Brown and Ed Williams, long-time friends and fans of Windham, will emcee the event. Both members of the Auburn University Communication and Journalism Department, they will bring their own tales to share. Listeners also welcome!
