Pilcrow Lit Fest NOPL News
Chicago-area Literary Festival to Benefit NOPL
This Memorial Day weekend, May 22-25, 2008, the Pilcrow Lit Fest in Chicago will do something very special for New Orleans. This new literary festival will hold a benefit inspired by our ongoing efforts to rebuild. Authors and publishers have destroyed copies of their own work and rebuilt them into works of art. These “rebuilt books” will be auctioned with proceeds donated to New Orleans Public Library Foundation.
