Edge was in the College of Arts and Sciences on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 1pm in Bobet 332 to discuss his new memoir, House of Smoke: A Southerner Goes Searching for Home.  The book deals with history, the quest to probe why we do what we do, and the thorny idea of privilege. Dr. Justin Nystrom, the Rev. James J. Pillar, O.M.I. / ADG Distinguished Professor in History, brought Edge to campus and hosted a lively Q&A with him. The first 50 faculty, students, and staff to attend received a copy of the book.
