Drama in the Deep South

John Safran brings his 2013 true-crime novel Murder In Mississippi to the Yarraville stage this Saturday. Safran will be at The Yarraville Club to discuss his first-hand encounter with a race-hate murder trial in the USA’s Deep South, complete with photos and footage tracing his journey. Having delved into contemporary racism in conservative America, Safran will deliver his eyewitness account of bizarre court proceedings. He’ll share his tale of living in Jackson, Mississippi, for six months, of plunging into FBI files, earning a killer’s trust and writing his first true-crime novel. Tickets are $35-90.
