Tim Miller

Yeah.

You're going to be in the upper echelon of fellow Mississippians who have read and familiarized yourself with all this stuff even before you started writing The Bar.

But one of the things you write about is how you – I think it was after you graduated high school.

I forget if you said high school or college.

You didn't know who Emmett Till was.

You hadn't heard the story.

No, I'd never heard the name, Tim.

he gets killed in his barn 23 miles from your house.

And the thing that strikes me when I first reading the book, I was like, Oh my God, you know, I can feel the chill right now.

Just thinking about it as you go to where the barn is, which is really close to you where you grew up and it's still there.

And a dentist lives in the house.

He still lives there with the barn.

And he has just this random detritus in the barn.

And he's got his grill outside of it.

It's crazy to think about.

And when he bought the house, he didn't know that Emmett Till had died there.

And that is crazy.

It goes against people's nature in a couple of ways.

Some of it is embarrassment and shame.

And people tie themselves to their ancestors.
