  3. For the love of words

    On Sunday afternoon at Printers Row Lit Fest, away from the crowds strolling through aisles of used books or the ruckus of tots being entertained at the Lil' Lit Park Neverland, Richard Ford took to the stage in the Harold Washington Library Center and read the opening of his story "Under the Radar," from the short story anthology he edited, "Blue Collar, White Collar, No Collar." (Proceeds from the book benefit 826Michigan, a nonprofit that teaches writing to young people.)

  11. Joyce Carol Oates at Tribune's Author Talks

    The universally acclaimed Joyce Carol Oates returns to Chicago on the heels of "A Widow's Story" (Harper Collins, publication date: Feb. 15). The author's poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of Raymond Smith, her husband of forty-six years, details its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A recent recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, Oates' novels ("Blonde," "The Gravedigger's Daughter," "Little Bird of Heaven," etc.) rank among the very finest in contemporary American fiction. She will be interviewed by Julia Keller.

  12. Printers Row Lit Fest: highlights from Rick Kogan

    It's easy to interview living authors, and I have three such people lined up at Saturday's Lit Fest: Jonathan Eig, author most recently of "Get Capone"; Barbara Ehrenreich, author of more than 20 books, including the best-seller "Nickel and Dimed"; and Charles Osgood, a photographer actually, but also a man who likes to talk. Then, at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the auditorium of the Harold Washington Library, I'll be "interviewing" a writer who died in 1997. I plan to do my best to bring Mike Royko back to life - in his words, my anecdotes, some special guests and one not-to-be-missed video.
