RootedWhy Don't We Claim Catherine Lacey As a Mississippi Writer?This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit rooted.substack.comI kicked off the first Bottom Reader Book Club of 2026 with friends! Rather than our usual author chat, I talked with Leslie Barker, a director and playwright, and Talamieka Brice, a visual artist and filmmaker, about the 2023 novel Biography of X by Tupelo native Catherine Lacey. It felt appropriate to talk with artist friends about this fictional biography of a “deified” multi-hyphenate artist.

RootedLauren Rhoades is Letting Go of Unrealistic Expectations of HomeThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit rooted.substack.comLast month I had the pleasure of joining the Bottom Reader Book Club for the first time as the author guest, rather than facilitator. It was thrilling to be on the other side of the proverbial table, knowing that I’d be in good hands with my perceptive friend and fellow 2025 debut author Catherine Simone Gray as facilitator and our cohort of gracious and insightful readers tuning in with their insights and questions. There’s a reason why multiple authors have said...
