Description
DG Martin interviews Clyde Edgerton - Lunch at the Piccadilly With a hint of Southern charm, a dash of distinctive dialogue, and a whole lot of humor, North Carolina’s own Clyde Edgerton spoons up a healthy helping of old-timer fun in his latest book Lunch at the Piccadilly. The best-selling author discusses his eighth deliciously funny novel with host D.G. Martin on North Carolina Bookwatch, UNC-TV’s weekly literary series. During this special episode, Edgerton shares his sensitivity and sympathy for the challenges of aging through the ups and downs of his new novel’s nursing home residents at the Rosehaven Convalescent Center. Through the eyes of his middle-aged main character Carl Turnage, and his eccentric aunt, Rosehaven’s lively octogenarian Lil Olive, Edgerton takes us to Lunch at the Piccadilly with savvy, style, and an unabashed sense of humor.
