A brave new world Earlier this year, in the midst of global lockdowns, pandemic fatigue and an unprecedented sense of loss, we asked three North Carolina authors — Frances Mayes, Etaf Rum and Daniel Wallace — to share their tales of our brave new, old world. Offering glimpses of resilience, hope, fear, transformation and what-ifs, each piece is an exploration of freedom and the mystery of the human spirit. Read on for one memoir and two works of fiction that open our eyes, minds and hearts through incomparable storytelling.
