We couldn't be more excited about the incredible slate of authors
and events we have planned. From October 22nd through the 25th, Madison will
play host to more than 70 events. There is certainly something for every
reader. We are delighted to be hosting a wide array of authors; we will see
prize-winners, debuts, laureates, luminaries.
This year’s lineup includes:
• 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction Adam Johnson
for Fortune Smiles
• New York Times best-selling author Azar Nafisi for The
Republic of Imagination
• Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Maraniss for Once
In a Great City
• The New Yorker copy editor Mary Norris for Between You and
Me
• Wisconsin’s own master storyteller Nickolas Butler
for Beneath the Bonfire
• Caldecott medalist and beloved children’s book author
Kevin Henkes for Waiting
• Acclaimed journalist Evan Thomas for Being Nixon
• Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich for Saving
Capitalism
• National Book Award winner Timothy Egan for The Big Burn
• 2015–16 Wisconsin Poet Laureate Kim Blaeser
And if you can't make the four-day celebration in October, looks
for more stand alone events throughout the fall. October 30th, we will be
hosting many more events throughout the fall, including evenings with Sarah
Vowell, Tim Flannery, and Bonnie Jo Campbell. We look forward to seeing
you at an event this fall.
Best,
