Parnassus Books Q&A

November 17, 2014

logoNashville’s Parnassus Books has earned a reputation as one of the finest independent bookstores in the country (it also happens to be located right around the corner from Fox’s Donut Den, one of the best donut shops anywhere!). In advance of this Wednesday’s in-store discussion hosted by none other than Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, the Parnassus blog, Musing, takes a look at Strong Inside. Thanks to Mary Laura Philpott for this opportunity!

  • “In a magnificently reported, nuanced
    but raw account of basketball and racism in the South during the 1960s, Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Perry Wallace’s struggle, loneliness, perseverance and eventual self-realization. A rare story about physical and intellectual courage that is both shocking and triumphant. ”

    Bob Woodward, Washington Post associate editor and author

Watch Andrew Maraniss talk about his inspiration to write Strong Inside, featuring archival footage of Perry Wallace in action.
