Then, hear prose snippets from Salih, author of Let’s Get Back to the Party.

If this kind of local, independent journalism matters to you, help keep it going. It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on. Click to give.
