CRITIC'S PICK: Michael Farris in conversation with Thomas Mullen

Recommended by Doug DeLoach as part of Creative Loafing’s June 2025 Critic’s Picks

Wed., Jun. 4
Michael Farris in conversation with Thomas Mullen
Wrecking Bar Brewpub

The June edition of Writers at the Wrecking Bar features Michael Farris, author the newly released novel 'Lay Your Armor Down,' in conversation with Atlanta's Thomas Mullen, author of 'The Rumor Game.' The A Cappella Books-sponsored event will be hosted by Chuck Reece, editor of Salvation South. According to press notes, "In spare, imagistic prose, 'Lay Your Armor Down' reduces the epic to its most elemental.

It charts the course of several broken people, all outrunning danger’s dark fingers, and all brought together for one last chance at redemption." Based in Oxford, Miss., Smith is an award-winning writer whose novels have appeared on Best of the Year lists in Esquire, NPR, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Oprah Magazine and Book Riot. As a screenwriter, he scripted the feature-film adaptations of his novels 'Desperation Road' and 'The Fighter.' — Doug DeLoach
