An important note from Leah Farnsworth:

Have plans this weekend?  We do!  Overheard with Evan Smith will be taping interviews with five terrific authors in just two days during the Texas Book Festival.  We’ll start with Molly Shannon Saturday morning, followed immediately by Susan Orlean.  Juan Williams will tape just after lunch.  And we’ll end Saturday with Andy Borowitz, who will make us laugh no matter how tired we are after so many tapings.
Sunday’s the easy day:  Russell Banks in the afternoon.
We’d love to have you join us for one or for all.  Please feel free to pass this along to friends who might be interested, too.  See below for details about each and links to RSVP.
Thank you, Texas Book Festival, for bringing this great gift our way each fall!
