New author series pairs authors for ‘intimate discussions’
Friday, June 9, 2023 by Eric Webb
Bookworms, here’s one for you. The Library Foundation and Texas Book Festival are launching a new author series called “In Conversation.” The free event series will pair writers for “intimate discussions of their work,” according to a news release. First up: Katie Gutierrez (“More Than You’ll Ever Know”) and Rubén Degollado (“The Family Izquierdo”), whose novels “explore families encountering folkloric curses, secret double lives, and the generational passage of time,” the announcement reads. Gutierrez and Degollado are set to sign their books, which will be available for purchase from Black Pearl Books. Catch the inaugural event at 7 p.m. on June 21 at Austin Central Library, 710 W. Cesar Chavez St. Find more info at austinlibrary.org and texasbookfestival.org.
