I can’t.). In the meantime, I want to round up all the bloggy goodness I can find on Festival sessions [...]

I’m a little sad to receive this last Book Festival update from Kevin McFadden (who looked quite dashing at last night’s Author Reception): Hello from VABook-News! Last night was an unforgettable evening at the Paramount with Mike Farrell, as Mike took questions from the Charlottesville audience and a few authors in town for the Festival. [...]

Dean J is a saint. Every day though her blog, Notes from Peabody II, she strives to accomplish the impossible: provide succor to multitudes who seek salvation at the UVa Office of Admissions. She gives comfort to the comfortless, clues to the clueless, humor to the humorless. Throughout her ordeal she remains a rock of [...]

Following up on my Rumors post…I happened to be at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports a couple of hours before the start of this afternoon’s Book Festival session with Greg Mortenson, called “Climbing Mountains.” The line already stretched the length of the shopping center by the time I was done with my errands.

I heard a rumor that some people who were turned away from peacemaker Greg Mortenson’s presentation this evening at the Culbreth Theatre didn’t handle their disappointment too peacefully. “Fighting” was the word I heard.

Wistar expands on the assumptions we make about culture and literature: Under the gun, we all have to admit that our culture informs who we are and how we write.
