"Perhaps even more so this year, the depth and diversity of writers and voices coming in to take part are a distinctive achievement for the organizers. Among the highlights this weekend is an appearance by songwriter Kenny Chesney, the country-music star of stadium-filling renown, who will talk about his memoir "Heart Life Music" with co-author Holly Gleason at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a gathering long sold out."
"Other highlights include: photographer and culture warrior Sally Mann (7 p.m. Nov. 19) newly appointed U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze (8 p.m. Nov. 20) local pals Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen (4 p.m. Nov. 22) chef and traveler Padma Lakshmi (10 a.m. Nov. 22) restaurateur Keith McNally (noon Nov. 22) sports journalist S.L. Price (3 p.m. Nov. 22) DJ and producer Arthur Baker with music scribe and filmmaker Nelson George (5:30 p.m. Nov. 22)"
