The Brooklyn Book Festival
World Literature Today
|November 2016
The vendor booths line up in downtown Brooklyn, right in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall.
Celebrating its eleventh year, the Brooklyn Book Festival hosts writers from around the world and highlights the literary landscape in a two-day book extravaganza. The festival not only includes scores of booths from book publishers and authors but features distinguished panels and workshops ranging from politics to science fiction to children’s storytelling and everything in between. An estimated forty thousand people were expected to attend the 2016 festival, and organizers recently added Saturday as Children’s Day, along with the normal Sunday lineup. It’s the largest free literary event in New York City.
