The Texas Book Festival has just unveiled its lineup, featuring Martin Amis, Joyce Carol Oates, Norman Lear and many, many more.
Here’s the list of confirmed names provided by the festival. Links will take you to Dallas Morning News stories. The lineup sometimes changes; for the latest details, you’ll want to visit the Texas Book Festival’s site.
And if you plan to go, consider making your travel plans quickly. The festival isn’t until Oct. 24-25, but a confluence of events meant that many downtown Austin hotels were booked (no pun intended) already.
