I will be moderating a panel at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, which takes place on the UCLA campus in about a couple of weeks, so I have been busy reading the novels of Tony Earley, Dinaw Mengestu, Stewart O’Nan, and Ann Packer. Tickets will be available starting this Sunday, April 20, and they are free. (Wait–it says there’s a nominal fee of $.75. Must be because Ticketmaster is handling the ticketing.) Here are the details:
