Fri 9/10   6:30-8:00pm Book Release Party with The Sun magazine Join Sy Safransky and staff for a reading and reception to celebrate the publication of The Sun’s new volume of Sunbeams, Paper Lanterns: More Quotations from the Back Pages of The Sun. This provocative collection of quotes takes you on a journey through innocence and experience, love and loss, disillusionment and awakening. Along the way you’ll find words that inspire as well as challenge; that celebrate the beauty around us without ignoring the injustices in our midst. Wine and light refreshments will be served. Admission is free, and seating is limited. Founded by Sy Safransky in Chapel Hill in 1974, The Sun is a monthly magazine that has been in print for more than thirty-six years and has nearly seventy thousand subscribers. Writing from The Sun has won the Pushcart Prize, been featured on National Public Radio, and appeared in Best American Essays and Best American Short Stories. Upon awarding The Sun an Independent Press Award for Best Writing, Utne described The Sun as “an intimate forum where some of the finest contemporary writers share their most polished and provocative prose." The Sun is entirely free of advertising.
