After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books has returned in person to the USC campus Saturday for a two-day event that promises to attract tens of thousands of people perusing the latest works and hearing directly from authors, celebrities and literary experts.
While festival-goers can spend their time wandering among hundreds of exhibitor booths sponsored by countless booksellers and other retailers, reading enthusiasts can also attend ticketed panel discussions throughout the weekend. Tickets for the author discussions are available online for a nominal fee -- and masks will be required at indoor events. “Once Upon a Crime: Families, Victims and the Ties That Bind,” featuring Megan Abbott, Tod Goldberg, S.A.
“The Poetics of Loss,” featuring CM Burroughs, Tyehimba Jess, Victoria Redel, Edward Hirsch and Forrest Gander; “Fiction: The Pandemic and Beyond,” with John Scalzi, Veronica Roth and David Duchovny; and “Arts & Culture: Comedy Through the Ages,” with Mark Harris, Mark Haskell Smith, James Curtis and Cari Beauchamp.
The festival traditionally attracts about 150,000 people during its two-day run. Attending the event is free, with only the indoor discussions requiring tickets.
