Edward Cohen's memoir The Peddler's Grandson is a tale of shifting identities and cultural collisions. Cohen grew up in Jackson, MS in the fifties and sixties and tried his best to fit in with his predominantly Baptist peers while maintaining his family's heritage. Feeling like an outsider, didn't stop there though. When he left Jackson, he took his southern accent with him. The northern Jews he met at college and elsewhere found this to be quite an anomaly.

The Peddler's Grandson is a beautifully written and eye-opening book that readers of all sorts will enjoy.

There will be a reception and signing at 5 p.m. and a reading at 5:30. If you're unable to attend but would like a signed or inscribed copy of The Peddler's Grandson, please contact us in advance.
