Malapropism: the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with an amusing effect
Gretchen Horn, the current owner of Malaprop's Bookstore in Asheville, North Carolina sits down with us to talk about what makes Malaprop's a lasting fixture in Asheville's downtown.
Western North Carolina is the home to many contemporary authors, alongside some of the most notable names in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. But even those writers whose names you may not know have a home at Malaprop's. They continue to support local authors, taking local writers on consignment.
The next time you are in Asheville, Malaprop's must be a stop on your list! Check out their extensive poetry and regional author selection.
