I’m gearing up for the LA Times Festival of Books, even though it’s still a month and a half away. Through a series of posts on this blog during that last weekend in April, I’ll be covering news, readings, reactions, buzz, landmark literary happenings, and anything else you’d like to know. If you’re going, stop by the USC Masters of Professional Writing booth, where I’ll be handing out free back copies of our literary journal (the newly named Southern California Review), and say hi.
On the LA Times website page, they promise a full list of authors late March, but here’s a partial list of a few already known to be attending:
Sherman Alexie
T.C. Boyle
Vikram Chandra
Gore Vidal
Walter Mosley
Jane Smiley
Mary Higgins Clark
