James&#8217;s previous book, the short story collection&nbsp;<em>The Persimmon Trail,&nbsp;<\/em>also touched on some of these stories through the lens of fiction. With memoir, James achieves a new level of intimacy and introspection. She is Associate Professor of English at the University of Holy Cross in New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juyannejames.com\">Author Website<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/09\/tablescraps_lg.jpg\" alt=\"Table Scraps cover\" class=\"wp-image-290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/09\/tablescraps_lg.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/09\/tablescraps_lg-222x300.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>author of Table Scraps and Other Essays<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":292,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.muw.edu\/welty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
