The Texas Book Festival released this year's author list at a Dallas reception held in Laura Bush's home last night. Some of the authors include: Buzz Aldrin, Luis Urrea (an entertainment machine), Terry Tempest Williams (Finding Beauty in a Broken World; you can find an earlier Austinist review here), Kinky Friedman, Blake Bailey (Cheever, A Life), Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Lethem (a must see), Willard Spiegelman, Jeanette Walls and many Austin authors including Laurence Parent, Belinda Acosta, and Lance Letscher. They are all good. If we overlooked your favorite author, the complete list, and eventually the schedule, can be found here (click on the author's name to reveal the book). more ›
