Author Snowden Wright Chronicles Fictional Southern Cola Dynasty In Novel 'American Pop'

Author Snowden Wright is no stranger to a good Southern epic. His
new novel, "American Pop," chronicles the fizzy and flat years of a
cola empire and the family who built it. The novel pours out
American cultural and economic history while wrestling with ideas
of legacy and nostalgia. Wright joined "On Second Thought" to
discuss the novel's release on Feb. 5. He shared his experiences
growing up in Mississippi and writing the novel inside of his
family's old shotgun cottage.
