Chicago Humanities Festival
The rapid approach of the thirteenth annual Chicago Humanities Festival brought to mind Wednesday’s quote from V.S. Naipaul, who was one of the highlights of last year’s festival. The quote comes from the last page of the new collection of Naipaul’s essays, The Writer and the World. Among the literary events at this year’s festival are, in no particular order:
Ralph Ellison Panel
