The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books has announced their 2026 lineup, Apr 18-19 at USC. Megan Abbott, Lou Berney, S.A. Cosby, Margot Douaihy and Marisa Kashino are the authors I'm looking forward to talking to. I come away motivated by the generosity and relatability of these terrific writers. Douaihy wrote me a note in her novel Scorched Grace I read all the time.
