Writer’s Talk: A Journey to Rediscover Old Florida
February 24, 2024, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Cathy Salustri, the author of Back Roads of Paradise: A Journey to Rediscover Old Florida, will speak on Saturday, February 24, at the Rawlings house. Meet and greet the author at 1:30 p.m. Her talk begins at 2:00 p.m.
Her book retraces the routes followed by Federal Writers’ Project authors during the Great Depression, including Stetson Kennedy and Zora Neale Hurston. Salustri conjures up the ultimate Florida road trip–often beautiful, sometimes bizarre, almost always exhilarating–over the course of 5,000 miles.
Free with regular park admission. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park at Cross Creek, S. County Road 325, Cross Creek, FL. 32640.
