Griswold is an assistant professor in the MFA program at McNeese State University, Lake Charles, Louisiana. He is the author of A Democracy of Ghosts; Herrin: The Brief History of an Infamous American City; and Pirates You Don’t Know, and Other Adventures in the Examined Life: Collected Essays (Georgia, 2014). He has written extensively (as Oronte Churm) at Inside Higher Ed and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.

“I’m gratified to be part of this new publishing opportunity,” Griswold says. “The series will build on UGA Press’s success and reputation publishing the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) Creative Nonfiction contest winners since 1986, as well as nonfiction anthologies and craft books. Georgia combines the intellectual reputation of a major university press with savvy promotion in the digital age, and we intend to reach smart readers who like to be entertained, in the widest sense.”

The inaugural book in the series will be published in October 2015. My Unsentimental Education, a memoir by Debra Monroe (On the Outskirts of Normal), offers a smart and lyrical take on the isolation that occurs when crossing class barriers in pursuit of the life of the mind.

Press director Lisa Bayer adds, “Creative nonfiction as a genre is experiencing an unprecedented period of growth and interest—a bit of a golden age. Georgia’s strong literary legacy, combined with the richness of the field, positions us perfectly to make a visible mark.”

The series advisory board includes Dan Gunn, Pam Houston, Phillip Lopate, Dinty W. Moore, Lia Purpura, Patricia Smith, and Ned Stuckey-French.

Sukanya Verma shares her exciting filmi week with us.

Vanita Kohli-Khandekar on why Indian media and entertainment quality will remain a national gripe and why we, the viewers, are not blame free.

'2016 may have been unkind, more than other years, but we are here and we owe it to the ones who are gone -- to live and love fully this wonderful gift of life,' says filmmaker Suparn Verma.

He had no airs about his talent, he did not intellectualise it, he just lived and breathed acting.

'2016 was the year when Shah Rukh Khan took risks and traversed along the path that would ensure the actor could shine more than the star,' says Aseem Chhabra.

'The night, I have to sadly admit, was a let-down and Mr Bieber, you kind of broke my heart,' says a Belieber.

'I don't give a f****. I am old enough now.''You just have to white-knuckle it and ride through it.''But really, who cares?''At the end of the day, just get on, feel the pain, embrace the suck.'

A 1990s Bollywood album.Ranbir Kapoor as Balraj Sahni.Dimple Kapadia's Crowning Glory days. Agha-Mukri-Kesto's fun, fabulous, forgotten friendship.Sukanya Verma's super-filmi week was a complete blast from the past.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's survivor instinct has been learnt on the streets.His hard-earned victory has come after innumerable struggles, but he hasn't lost focus of one simple fact.Suparn Verma -- who directed Nawaz in Aatma -- tells us what it is.

'I will miss you calling me and saying "I am Shashi Kapoor" even when you were at the height of your stardom.'Gitanjali Gurbaxani remembers a dear friend.

The problem is not that more people are not watching more TV, but that they are not finding anything of interest on Hindi television, says Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.

No, no, it has nothing to do with Salman...

'While censorship of any sort is anathema to the creative spirit, political correctness has become more and more the norm rather than the exception,' notes Uttaran Das Gupta.

Gajraj Rao's performance in Badhaai Ho is the finest by an actor in a Hindi film this year, applauds Sreehari Nair.

'When so many noted universities -- including the likes of Harvard and the University of California -- are spending their resources on studying the world of GoT, it is fun to assess whether this fictional universe conforms with the laws of our real universe,' says Kumar Abhishek.

Jaspal Bhatti's feel for the grime, the confusions, and the madness in our system was so complete that he could take on every kind of woman or man God ever gave to the institutions of India, feels Sreehari Nair.

Lively dance tunes and spirited medleys are heard on the "The Fifes and Drums of Colonial Williamsburg 4th of July Concert."
