Jimmy Lowe likes to celebrate the little things in life, so much so that he’s written an entire book about them.
Lowe will be speaking at the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library on Thursday at 7 p.m. about the book “That Spring at Harley’s Place and Other Stories,” a collection of short stories set in the rural south in the 1950’s.
“My philosophy is that our lives really are collections of small, sometimes insignificant moments, but in the totality, they’re really what make us what we are,” Lowe said. “I’m just a big believer in celebrating the little experiences. Those really make life interesting, so I’ve written a book of short stories that sort of celebrate those little scenes in life, but ultimately define who we are.”
Lowe will also be sharing some excerpts from past columns and his book “My Road to Fiction.”
“I was trained as a journalist and years ago, I did news stories, photography and taught journalism,” Lowe said. “I went back to college for a master’s degree and started to emphasize literature. I studied in California and in New York — I studied there where Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn — and I began to have a desire to write more creatively, but my first efforts are still really tied to the truth. Lately, I’ve broken away from that and have tried some pure fiction.”
Martha Nell Thomas, community services director for the library, said she’s excited that Lowe will be speaking Thursday night.
“Mr. Lowe always does a good job,” Thomas said. “Anytime you have an opportunity to hear him speak, it’s something you should take advantage of. He’s a wonderful teacher, a great motivator, he has a lot of positive energy and is a very talented writer.”
