Atlanta Prime Timers upcoming events

The Margaret Mitchell House + Optional Lunch (Tuesday, September 15, 2026)

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Margaret Mitchell House

+ Optional Lunch

When: Tuesday, September 15, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Where: The Margaret Mitchell House (11:00 a.m.)

990 Peachtree Street

Atlanta, GA 30309

Hudson Grill (optional) (appx 12:30 p.m.)

942 Peachtree Street NE

Atlanta, GA 30309

Event Details: When Margaret “Peggy” Mitchell lived in the building with her second husband, John Marsh, they lived in a small apartment on the first floor. Mitchell nicknamed apartment no. 1 “The Dump.”

Shortly after moving into the apartment in 1925, Mitchell quit her job as a reporter at the Atlanta Journal, primarily because of a re-aggravation of a foot injury she suffered as a child. While recuperating, she would plow through library books that Marsh would bring her. As the story goes, one day he came home from the library empty-handed, claiming that she had read all the library’s works of fiction, and suggested that she start writing something instead. Mitchell’s first and only book was born: Gone With the Wind.

Both beloved and condemned from almost the moment of its publication, Gone With the Wind went on to shape the way that millions of people imagined the American Civil War for decades to come. Both the book and the movie depict a rosy myth of the Old South, casting the institution of slavery in a benevolent light. African Americans characters are also characterized as simple-minded and beholden to the white characters, most of whom are slaveholders (or, by the end of the story, former slaveholders). Overall, the story also ignores the role of slavery in causing the Civil War, playing into Lost Cause mythology, among many other issues. These depictions are, however, hugely influential, and provide a case study of how narrative, art, and film can affect our view of history.

Explore the complex issues raised by Gone With the Wind and by Mitchell’s life as well as the popularity along with criticism of the book and film.

Cost: $15 payable at The Margaret Mitchell House.

Reservations: Required.

Parking: MARTA Midtown (10th Street) station is a half block away, parking is available in nearby lots, and some street parking is available.

APT Virtual Book Club (Wednesday, September 23, 2026)

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:00:00 GMT

September Book Selection

Not My Father's Son: A Memoir

by Alan Cumming

When: 3 PM on the last Wednesday of each month

Where: We meet via Zoom. Login information will be included in your registration confirmation email.

About the book: From the Amazon description...

A beloved star of stage, television, and film—“one of the most fun people in show business” (Time magazine)—Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood.

When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father.

With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as a film, television, and theater star. At times suspenseful, deeply moving, and wickedly funny, Not My Father’s Son will make readers laugh even as it breaks their hearts.

Where: We meet via Zoom. Login information will be included in your registration confirmation email.

About the book: From the Amazon description...

Shaw and North are best friends, private detectives, and in danger of losing their agency. A single bad case, followed by crippling lawsuits, has put them on the brink of closing shop. Until, that is, a client walks into their Benton Park office.

Matty Fennmore is young, blond, and beautiful, and he’s in danger. When he asks for Shaw and North’s help foiling a blackmail scheme, the detectives are quick to accept.

The conspiracy surrounding Matty runs deeper than Shaw and North expect. As they dig into the identity of Matty’s blackmailer, they are caught in a web that touches politicians, the local LGBT community, and the city’s police.

An attack on Matty drives home the rising stakes of the case, and Shaw and North must race to find the blackmailer before he can silence Matty. But a budding romance lays bare long-buried feelings between Shaw and North, and as their relationship splinters, solving the case may come at the cost of their friendship.
