Please support Auntie's Bookstore by using this link to purchase books by festival authors.This year’s headlining event celebrates one of Spokane’s most beloved writers, Jess Walter, along with best-selling author Esi Edugyan. Both writers have penned, in elegant prose, historical novels with themes of class, race, friendship, and betrayal.
The Cold Millions and
Washington Black are sweeping adventures that follow the lives of compelling characters through hardships across many years and landscapes, from the Spokane Falls in 1909 to the sugar cane fields of Barbados in 1830. Both writers will read from their work, and Walter will lead a discussion that delves into their novels and the writing process, and the importance of shining a light on these timely histories.
