What else is going on
Rain Taxi Review of Books announces a new date and venue for the journal’s free Twin Cities Book Festival. The 25th anniversary of the state’s oldest and largest book-focused gathering will be Nov. 8 at the Union Depot in St. Paul instead of the previous venue at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Rain Taxi editor and festival director Eric Lorberer assures fans that changes will not affect core features: a book fair with publishers, literary organizations, magazines, writing programs, literacy advocates and antiquarian booksellers as well as multiple stages with author readings, talks and activities for all ages.
