“Kill All the Chickens” by Amy Olberding ~ Book Launch & Author Signing hosted by Ozarks Heritage Research Center @ Garnett Library
Nov 17 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
A book launch and author signing of “Kill All the Chickens: Grief and Memory on an Ozark Farm” by Amy Olberding. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center. Refreshments provided. Books available for purchase.

Amy Olberding is a soon-to-be-retired Presidential Professor of Philosophy at University of Oklahoma. She is also the fourth generation owner of her family’s Century Farm in southern Howell County and lives there with her husband and dog. Her books include The Wrong of Rudeness (Oxford 2019) and her most recent work, a collection of essays blending Ozark family stories and philosophy of death and grief, Kill All the Chickens (Polity 2027).

About the presentation — The talk will present what happens when a philosopher who is committed to writing a scholarly book about ancient Chinese and Roman death consolations ends up in charge of her family’s farm and living in the traces of her Ozark ancestors. The scholarly book never got written, but the talk will draw from the book that did: a mosaic of reflections on loss and tradition that draws freely from both ancient philosophy and life on a family farm.
