2015 Southern Literary Trail

Donald Goodman, a Eugene Walter biographer (The Happy Table of Eugene Walter, Southern Spirits in Food and Drink) and manager of the Mobile writer's estate, presents "The Reel Life of Eugene Walter" with rarely-seen clips from the movies in which the writer appeared.

Walter enjoyed long sojourns in New York, Rome, and Paris when he wasn't at home in the South. He was a man of arts and letters who landed roles in many foreign films ranging from low-budget Italian thrillers to internationally renowned classics directed by Frederico Fellini. Through it all, Walter's world-view remained uniquely and steadfastly Southern.

Goodman will talk about Eugene Walter's interest in acting and performance that took him from summer theater in Mobile to foreign co-productions with Anais Nin and the films in Rome. The montage of clips with scenes or glimpses of Eugene will include The Pink Panther, 8 ½, Belle Starr, The Pyjama Girl Case, Two Weeks in Another Town, and Private Lessons.

2015 Southern Literary Trail

Sylviane A. Diouf is an award-winning historian and curator at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of the New York Public Library. Her acclaimed books include Slavery's Exiles: The Story of American Maroons and Dreams of Africa in Alabama: The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Story of the Last Africans Brought to America.

For her research of the “Clotilda,” Diouf was affected and inspired by Emma Langdon Roche, a Mobile artist and writer who published a book in 1914 about her journeys and those of other enslaved African-Americans along the Gulf Coast. The writings of Roche influenced future novelist Zora Neale Hurston, who was born in Alabama near Auburn, and some of her paintings survive today within the collections of the Historic Mobile Preservation Society.

The Historic Mobile Preservation Society partners with the Southern Literary Trail along with the Mobile Public Library and the Mobile Arts Council for this presentation by Diouf, who will speak on Roche's influence. Dr. Kern Jackson of African-American Studies at the University of South Alabama will provide the introduction. This event is supported with a grant from the Alabama Humanities Foundation, a state agency of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Admission is free. For more information call the Society at 251-432-6161 or the Mobile Public Library at 251-208-7097. For more information and full schedule of the Southern Literary Trail events, go to http://www.southernliterarytrail.org/events.html.
