SUMMARY:WIT Literary Festival 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Authors Guild Foundation’s WIT: Words\, Ideas\, and Thinkers Literary Festival returns to the Berkshires September 27 – 29 to explore the theme The Power of Words: Why Writers Matter.

Best known for deeply personal works of lyric fiction\, Kincaid reflects on the stories of the plants that have made up the colonized world in her new book\, An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children. Joining Kincaid for a conversation exploring their shared passion for gardening of all sorts is the journalist and editor Sandra Guzmán\, whose talents for tending and cultivating are on glorious display in her groundbreaking anthology\, The Daughters of Latin America.

Joining Reichl\, who recently published The Paris Novel and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Foundation\, for a fresh conversation on the language and literature of food is Monique Truong\, whose own appetite for the discussion is perhaps reflected in the delectable titles of her three indelible novels—Bitter in the Mouth\, The Book of Salt\, and The Sweetest Fruits.
