Wren’s Nest Part of the Southern Literary Trail?

I’d rather not jinx anything, but the Wren’s Nest may very well sneak into the fledgling and soon-to-be-awesome Southern Literary Trail.

Their website right now looks a little like the Wren’s Nest’s website, stylistically speaking, circa this time last year.

That is to say, um, spartan.

The idea for the trail centers around linking 20th century southern writers through themes, geography, and–hopefully–tourist dollars. Since Joel Chandler Harris was indeed alive and publishing in the 20th century, I say count it! After all, the transformation of writing in Georgia from Br’er Rabbit to The Color Purple is pretty significant if I do say so myself.

Here’s (a little) background on the Southern Literary Trail. Of course, more information will be posted here as it develops.

Now, if only someone would get my Civil War to Civil Rights Trail idea off the ground.

I’m looking at you, CCHRP.

Or maybe you, Amelia Trace. You’re practically synonymous with ATL.
