The festival aims to connect art with health, showcasing authors like Viet Thanh Nguyen and Roxane Gay while facilitating tough conversations and celebrating joyous moments in literature.

"When you're going to a bookish fantasy-themed ball, and this is what you get...A million lives or a million lies?"

The 90-year-old playwright Alan Bennett will read from his journals at a local book festival, celebrating writers and writing in Primrose Hill on November 3rd.

"There is still a lot of work to be done. In order to access traditional publishing, you have to go through the literary agents, they are literally the gatekeepers... We’re seeing the rise of self-publishing, the rise of hybrid publishing... You are forced to take a different route because the route that you are trying is just not feasible."

This week in DC, residents can immerse themselves in culture with events like the National Book Festival and diverse community festivals showcasing food, dance, and more.
