University of Arkansas Press and The Oxford American Host Party to Launch Book
The Oxford American Book of Great Music Writing
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – On November 1st the University of Arkansas Press and The Oxford American will host a book launch at the UARK Bowl in Fayetteville to celebrate the publication of The Oxford American Book of Great Music Writing (cloth, $34.95), edited by Marc Smirnoff, the magazine’s editor and founder. To celebrate ten years of Southern music issues, most of which are sold-out or very hard to find, the fifty-five pieces collected by Smirnoff for this dynamic, wide-ranging, and vast anthology will appeal to both music fans and fans of great writing.
The book’s launch party will start at 8:00, after the University of Arkansas Homecoming football game. There will be music by Ocie Fisher & The Hipp Dogs. Copies of the book will be available. All proceeds benefit The Oxford American Literary Project. Tickets are $50.00 and are tax-deductible. They can be purchased at Sound Warehouse in Fayetteville, or call 501-450-5376, www.oxfordamericanmag.com, or at the door. The UARK Bowl is at 644 W. Dickson Street.
