In today’s episode, Kevin Winchester, winner of the 2013 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize, and writing instructor at Wingate University, shares his novel, “Sunflower Dog,” published by SFK Press, an exploration of the many layers of life in a small, North Carolina town as residents try to find their place in the neo-gothic South.

New York Times best-selling author Ron Rash, compares Sunflower Dog to John Kennedy Tool’s masterpiece, A Confederacy of Dunces, saying it is “a delightful novel by one of North Carolina’s best writers.”
