The rain location is the Boykin Center. Jazz Revival Project events: One of the most interesting pairings is that of novelist Pat Conroy with friend and Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Doug Marlette 1: The two will discuss the lessons and influences of life-long friendship.

North Carolina Festival of the Book

Friends for over 30 years, Conroy and Marlette have learned from each other as artists and from simply being pals. Marlette recently published his first novel The Bridge with the encouragement of his friend. So I was really interested in the way this festival was put together, and the opportunity to do this with Pat was really great.

Let's face it, folks, most books aren't about books or writing. The fact that they encompass and focus on the whole of culture may be their greatest attribute. All artists share insights and inspiration with other art forms, and pop culture is part of the fabric of literature. This is what led organizers to include sports, music, film and food as topics of discussion at this year's festival.

Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish, the novel Tim Burton later adapted for his film of the same title, told me, "I just find the whole idea of this unflinching allegiance to a particular team interesting.

That whole dynamic is pretty fascinating. Wallace is also a fan of the more inviting nature of this festival. Covering the musical side of the pop culture quotient will be a conversation about collaboration in the music industry and literary fields. Guzzardi has edited titles by Tom Robbins and the Dalai Lama, while the producers have worked on albums by R. Musician and producer Chris Stamey also has experience in book editing and told me that he's been surprised at how much it helped him in his music career.

They are both about acting as a translator between the artist and the audience. This is clearly not your typical literary festival. Don't expect to come listen to snooze-able readings while sitting around with bookworms and "getting lost in your navel," as one participant put it. Be prepared to hear lively debates and conversations between beloved writers who are sure to learn as much from each other as you will from them.
