Nevada Humanities announces the publication of A Change Is Gonna Come: Reinvention in the City of Second Chances, Volume 10 of the ongoing Las Vegas Writes series, published by Huntington Press. Every year Nevada Humanities and the Las Vegas Writes project commission a series of writers to develop an original work surrounding a theme connected to Las Vegas. For the past nine years, topics have focused on Las Vegas’ history, future, and literature, highlighting the broad scope of the literary talents of those who live and work in Nevada. A Change Is Gonna Come showcases 14 Las Vegas-based writers who explore the theme of reinvention. Through essays, short stories, and poems, the authors explore the various manifestations of reinvention in the context of Las Vegas, long regarded as a city of second chances. Co-editor Scott Dickensheets notes, "Most reinvention is neither sinister nor worthy of note; it’s just everyday personal growth, as we work to extend or escape our narratives and histories."
