Savannah Book Festival 2013

2/19/2013

Mostly cloudy and cool.  Light rains. Winds NNW at 5 knots. Half moon.
The Savannah Book Festival was an astonishing event. Highlights included meeting V.P. Al Gore and exchanging books with him. His latest The Future is an insightful look into the major forces changing our society and our planet.  There was also T.C. Boyle's reading of "The Lie," a short story from his latest collection. Wonderful. As well as a very humorous talk by Dave Barry.  My own presentation for Islands Under Fire  was SRO.  A fine trial run for the next one in the Big Apple.

Clear skies. NW winds at 15-20 knots. A waning half moon.
The lineup at the Savannah Book Festival is getting more stellar every day. Hoda Kotb from the Today Show, Gary Wills, Ben Fountain, Colm Toibin, T.C. Boyle. Local writers include Jim Morekis of Connect Savannah (who writes the most intelligent editorials in town for that weekly) and Fran McCarey's favorite columnist, Jane Fishman. Her favorite author (one hopes) will be appearing at the festival Saturday February 16 from 11:30AM-12:30PM in the boardroom on the second Floor of the Jepson Center for the Arts. I'll be comparing the different challenges that documentary filmmakers and nonfiction book authors face in producing their works.Hope you can join me there.
