Over the years members of our family have published several books. Those items include two books related to Native American history in Alabama by my father, Amos J. Wright, Jr., a book by yours truly on crime in the Deep South and several books that featured mom's art.
Since 2018 my son Amos Jasper Wright IV has published three books. His first, the short story collection Nobody Knows How It Got this Good, appeared that year from Livingston Press. My blog post about the book is here, Good Reads page is here and the StoryGraph page here. I also wrote about his appearance at the 2018 Louisiana Book Festival in Baton Rouge.
A second book, the novel Petrochemical Nocturne, was also published by Livingston Press in 2023. I also wrote about his appearance at the festival that year. My blog post about that book is here, the Good Reads page here and the StoryGraph page here.
Now we come to his latest work, which has an official publication date of March 27. The publisher's web site describes The Battle of Danziger Bridge in this way:
"The Battle of Danziger Bridge presents a collection of interlocking stories set in contemporary New Orleans dealing with dilemmas and questions of local and national urgency. The collection deploys a mix of male and female, black and white narrative voices in humor and pathos, some of whom narrate multiple stories or reappear as characters in other stories, creating a cacophonous effect of conflicting perspectives and values. This overlapping action and character give the collection the cohesiveness of a novel."
The new book also has Good Reads and StoryGraph pages.
