Well, today‘s #riotgrams prompt is “books in nature”, however, it‘s pissing down rain here in Iowa City so here‘s me outside Prairie Lights looking at the books inside before going inside myself to introduce Donald Ray Pollock at his reading for the #iowacitybookfestival
Welcome back to Iowa, Suki Kim! (She was last here during the caucus in January, reporting on the Rubio campaign.) She opened her lecture with the video of the song "Without You, There is No Us", a propaganda piece that informed the title of her book. #iowacitybookfestival #uicenterforhumanrights #onecommunityonebook
Parked outside the Pomerantz Center with @smokler Brat Pack America (pictured) and coffee (not pictured) enjoying the gorgeous weather before Suki Kim lectures at 2pm on her experiences in North Korea. #iowacitybookfestival
Loved the #iowacitybookfestival, watch out for Nathan Hill! Both he and Maksik were fantastic. Perks of living in a UNESCO City of Literature.
Day 4 of #iowacitybookfestival I went to hear Nathan Hill and Alexander Maksik read at Prairie Lights.
Mad props to Kathleen and the PL staff - Hill is a local and had just been on NPR so the crowd was just packed in on the second floor. They made it work like they always do.
