I will be here tomorrow afternoon

LA Times Festival of Books at UCLA

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is a two-day celebration of the written word and one of the country's premier literary events. The Festival is free to the public and held each year on the last weekend of April on the UCLA campus. The 2004 Festival will be held on April 24 and 25.

Following a morning of apartment-hunting, I will unwind among the Los Angeles intelligentsia (a screaming oxymoron if ever there was one) and oodles of top authors including:

Martin Amis
Jane Smiley
Pico Iyer
Alice Walker
A. Scott Berg
Christopher Hitchens
James Ellroy
Douglas Brinkley
Tobias Wolff
Carl Hiaasen
Ray Bradbury
& Clive Barker

Oh, yeah. Eggers’ll be there, too.

And Lauren Weisberger will be on a panel: “Finding Truth In Fiction”
