"Ansa tells a good quirky story, and she tells it with humor, grace and great respect for the power of the particular." That's the judgment of The New York Times about Georgia author Tina McElroy Ansa. Statesboro will have the opportunity to see for itself when the award-winning novelist reads at the Statesboro Library Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Meet the Author event is co-hosted by the Statesboro Friends of the Library and Georgia Southern University's Department of Writing and Linguistics.
