Please join Busboys and Poets Books as we welcome author Mandy Mikulencak for a discussion about her new book THE LAST SUPPERS.
An unusual and moving novel about a Louisiana woman with a calling to prepare meaningful final meals for death row prisoners. Though it takes place in the 1950’s, THE LAST SUPPERS raises issues that are all-too timely – race, poverty, justice, capital punishment and prisoners’ rights – as a prison cook’s quest to provide meaningful final meals for death row inmates leads her to question the truths of her own past.
Mandy Mikulencak has been a writer her entire working life. First, as a journalist then as an editor and PR specialist for two national nonprofits and a United Nations agency. Originally from Texas, she now lives in the mountains of Southwest Colorado with her husband. She writes YA and adult fiction. Her first book,Burn Girl, has been honored with a 2016 Westchester Fiction Award.Readers can visit Mandy online at: www.MandyMikulencak.com
