In Diane Chamberlain’s latest novel, Big Lies in a Small Town, set in Edenton, North Carolina, we meet one of the only female artists to win a commission to participate, a fictional 22-year-old New Jersey artist named Anna Dale who is murdered in 1940. In 1934, the Section of Painting and Sculpture, was tasked with commissioning 1,400 murals in federal post offices buildings across the country. ![]() In an act that seems quaint today, the federal government stepped in and tried to boost morale with art.

They read like poetry-the mark of an author who knows a reader’s ear. Draw Your Weapons consists of seventeen essays, but each is a carefully braided composition of vignettes, some as short as a single line while most are a third or half page.
