Event Description: |
Book lovers of all ages can celebrate St. Louis’ literary heritage at the second annual BookFest St. Louis, proudly presented by the Central West End Community Improvement District, Left Bank Books and the Left Bank Books Foundation.
BookFest St. Louis will feature a diverse mix of locally and internationally renowned writers, with appearances by award-winning authors including Sarah Kendzior, Rebecca Schuman, Gary Shteyngart, Marcia Douglas and more.
Three-time Emmy Award winning actress, Sally Field, opens the festival with a keynote talk on Friday, September 21 at The Chase Park Plaza. She will discuss her new book, In Pieces, a deeply searing memoir about being a woman - a famous woman - in the last half of the 20th century.
Festival-goers will be able to enjoy 10 different panel discussions highlighting the best of contemporary literary fiction, poetry, memoir, science fiction, young adult fiction, mystery and history, as well as participate in family-friendly activities including book sales, literary crafts and live music within the McPherson Avenue festival zone and at other venues throughout the Central West End. |
