Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is coming up soon, on April 26 and 27th, so I’ve picked out some of my favorite people who will be there. And of course I will be around as well, scouting, listening, perusing and getting into all kinds of literary mischief.
Some highlights from the attendees list:
Lydia Millet: Author of the raved about, "How the Dead Dream"
Laila Lalami: Great short story debut, "Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits"

Marianne Wiggins: So popular, she’s listed twice.
