In this episode, I interview University of Iowa PhD candidate Enrico Bruno about his work on Randall Kenan. We discuss the role of mythology in 20th century African American fiction and how the legend of flight appears in Kenan's first novel, A Visitation of Spirits. We then turn to a discussion of Let the Dead Bury Their Dead and ways in which Kenan uses the gothic trope to explore the intersections of race and sexuality in small-town South. We conclude with a bigger question of why the gothic is perhaps America's literary genre of choice and how it relates to the country's political history.

The SFA mourns the passing of Randall Kenan, a long-time member and frequent presenter at SFA events. This Gravy episode is a re-broadcast of Randall Kenan's presentation at the 2018 Southern Foodways Symposium, which studied food and literature.

It is with a very heavy heart that I present this week's episode of Bookin' with Randall Kenan.  Randall Kenan was a wonderful person and an extraordinarily gifted writer who is gone from this world much too soon.  He left us with a wonderful new collection, If I Had Two Wings, which was published by our friends at WW Norton and Company.  Much of our recorded discussion sounds much different than it did just two weeks ago as we sat down to record it.  I am happy we got the opportunity to discuss If I Had Two Wings, and I am happy to have gotten the opportunity to know Randall Kenan.  He will be missed. Topics of discussion include Robert Johnson at the crossroads, Time, Howard Hughes and Elon Musk, a Proustian sense of taste, Bill Withers, only missing a place when you are there, and ghosts. Copies of If I Had Two Wings can be ordered here with free shipping.

“For me, the hallmark of food in literature, raised to the level of art, is food interacting with character. Food as character. Food doing stuff. Food being stuff. Just as it happens with our flesh and blood, our mouths and our bellies and our memories. The best writers, the better writers, know that food is identity. Food is alive. Food is us.” Randall Kenan first delivered this talk at the 2018 Southern Foodways Symposium on food and literature in Oxford, Mississippi. A professor of creative writing at UNC Chapel Hill, he is the author or editor of half a dozen books of fiction and nonfiction, including A Visitation of Spirits and Let the Dead Bury Their Dead.
