General Info:
La Feria Internacional del Libro de Buenos Aires is coming up, April 23rd-May 11th. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a giant exposition of books, authors, readings, workshops, and a variety of random and informative booths from Mormons to anarchists …
This year there will be talks and readings by American authors Junot Díaz (Drown, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao) and Annie Proulx (Brokeback Mountain, The Shipping News). There will also be Writers in BA members participating at various levels: María Christina Azcona will be signing her book, A Guide to Find Peace; and my writers’ group, Thursdays@Three, will be publishing a compilation, giving readings, and leading workshops on screenwriting and running a writers’ group. Details are on the schedule below.
The Book Fair is at La Rural exhibition center, by Plaza Italia, Santa Fe & Sarmiento, on the D subte line in Palermo, also served by a gazillion buses. The book fair is HUGE, so if you’re coming for a specific event, make sure to get there early so you have time to orient yourself and find it. You can get schedules and maps there or on-line. Day entrance passes are $10 pesos Mon-Thurs and $13 pesos Fri-Sun, and it opens at 2 p.m. and stays open until 10 p.m. (Sun-Thurs) and 11 p.m. (Fri & Sat), and until 1 a.m. Thursday, April 30th (eve of a holiday).
