Channeling Harper Lee, with Allen Mendenhall

Allen Mendenhall is a lawyer and university administrator in Alabama who edited Southern Literary Review for over a decade. He joined me on Uncorking a Story to discuss his latest book, A Glooming Peace this Morning. Key Themes Allen’s experiences writing both fiction and non-fiction (and why non-fiction takes longer). The overlap between storytelling in the courtroom and storytelling on the page. The valuable lessons of patience and persistence Allen learned while pursuing his path to writing and publishing fiction. The inspiration behind A Glooming Peace this Morning and why he felt compelled to write something more than ‘just a story.’   Why happiness should not be an ultimate goal in life.
