What a privilege to have Colson Whitehead at the Festival of Books with his incredible and most timely book, “The Underground Railroad.” Allyson Hobbs’s perfect interview really made it special. Her book, “A Chosen Exile,” is outstanding. Hats off to this accomplished hometown girl.
Can’t wait to see what the Festival of Books has in store for us next year!
