What To Expect: The LA Times Festival Of Books 2012
Only one event can bring Oscar-award winning actress, Julie Andrews, L.A. riots figure Rodney King, and reality TV sensation, Bethenny Frankel, together, while attracting the likes of over 150,000 people. The literary feat to end all—the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books returns to USC next Saturday for a weekend celebration of bibliophilia unlike any other.
Among the esteemed guests taking the stage will be a slew of celebrated writers including T.C. Boyle, John Green and Judy Blume, who will be on hand to partake in simulating panel discussions, book signings, and general conversations about their latest literary musings.
The celebrity-turned-author is a unique breed that sees no shortage at the Festival of Books and this year will be no different. L.A.’s deep-rooted ties with the entertainment industry will be well represented, once again, with the likes of veteran actor John Cusack, retired pro-basketball player Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Golden Girls’ Betty White, among many others, to promote their newest endeavors.
Considering the formidable lineup of authors, speakers, and events are scheduled to take place at the Festival of Books next week, L.A. is bound to be the literary Mecca of the world—if only for one weekend.
