The schedule for the North Carolina Festival for the Book, coming to Duke this spring, is an impressive one. The festival, formerly the North Carolina Literary Festival, is a biennial event that rotates between Duke, North Carolina State, and UNC. The four-day event highlights North Carolina authors and readers, but will also bring in nationally-known writers including Tom Wolfe, Barbara Kingsolver, Pat Conroy, and Roy Blount, Jr.
Will the NC Festival of the Book be held this spring? I attended the 2006 festival on Duke’s campus, but I have not found any further information for this year. I understand it takes place during alternating years between the three or four campuses involved. Is that true?
The North Carolina Literary Festival will return, just a year later than scheduled. The UNC University Library will host the festival in 2009.
