David Wiesner has illustrated more than 20
award-winning books for young readers. Two
of the picture books he wrote and illustrated
became instant classics when they won the
prestigious Caldecott Medal: “Tuesday” in 1992
and “The Three Pigs”
in 2002. Two of his
other titles, “Sector
7” and “Free Fall,” are
Caldecott Honor Books.
“Flotsam,” his most
recent work, was a
New York Times
bestseller and was
recently named winner
of the 2007 Caldecott
Medal, making Wiesner
only the second person in the award’s long
history to have won three times.
Wiesner lives with his wife and their son
and daughter in the Philadelphia area, where
he continues to create dreamlike and inventive
images for books.

A Message
From Times
Publisher David Hiller
Welcome to the Los Angeles
Times Festival of Books!
So many of you have told
us that the Festival is one of
your favorite events of the
whole year, and so it is for
all of us at The
Times.
What a joy
it is to come
together on the
beautiful UCLA
campus with
family, friends
and neighbors
for the sole
purpose of celebrating great
books, great writers and great
readers.
Among the writers
and artists joining us this
year are Maria Shriver, Aimee
Mann, Arianna Huffington,
David Frum, Tobias Wolff, Jane
Smiley and former U.S. Poet
Laureate Robert Pinsky, just to
name a few.
Add in music, fun for the
kids and refreshments, and
you can see why so many
come back every year.
I’ll see you around
the Festival.

Culinary Stage presented by South African Tourism
Food, Wine and South African Tales Take Center Stage
T
he bold flavors and vibrant sounds of South
Africa come to life at the Festival of Books
through the tourism board’s promotion of
Food, Wine and South African Tales. Experience a
world of cooking demonstrations on the Culinary
Stage presented by South African Tourism and at their
invitation-only wine reception — for more information,
visit the South African Tourism exhibit located at Booth
110 (adjacent to the Culinary Stage).
Another key element of South Africa’s participation
in the Festival of Books is the presentation of oral
storytelling. “Our oral traditions date back hundreds of
years to Zulu Chieftains and have continued through to
today from our great leaders like Nelson Mandella and a
variety of Pulitzer Prize winners,” said Dean Jacobberger,
trade relations manager for South African Tourism.
Spicing up the proceedings, the Culinary Stage
presented by South African Tourism will feature
traditional dishes prepared by South African chef
Reuben Riffel and cooking demonstrations by
American celebrity chefs, including actress and cookbook
author Padma Lakshmi, host of “Top Chef” on Bravo.
The art of grilling will be demonstrated by Steven Raichlen,
noted culinary author whose “Barbecue Bible” has sold more
than 1 million copies. Wolfgang Puck’s executive pastry chef,
Sherry Yard, also will be featured, along with Sara Moulton,
PBS cooking star and executive chef for Gourmet magazine,
and Anne Willan, noted cookbook author and owner of La
Varenne culinary school in France.
All of the chefs and authors will be available for book
signings at the conclusion of their demonstrations — and
Riffel will also tell tales of his country and native cuisine.
Highlighting the food-and-drink theme, travel booths

manned by South Africa Airways and others will offer
special packages that feature culinary and wine adventures.
Some packages include dining experiences set in the middle
of South African bush country, replete with five-star cuisine
and often followed by safari excursions in Cougar National
Park. Also available are packages that focus on the Western
Cape wine region, where tourists can sample the natural
beauty and fine wines of the area.
“The Western Cape wine region is a lot like Napa Valley
and Sonoma in California,” Jacobberger said. “The big
difference is that the South African wineries are much
more intimate. They don’t shuttle in busloads of people.
They let you linger and take your time in small settings.”

The Comix Strip presented by Sprint
Superheroes Unite!
P
icture this: The worlds of manga,
comic books and graphic novels will
join forces at the Festival of Books
with the all-new Comix Strip presented by
Sprint. It’s an addition that speaks volumes
about the growing influence and popularity
of this market.
Far more
comprehensive and
diverse than the
popular superhero
stories of generations
past, the vast universe of today’s illustrated
stories covers a range of genres, from fantasy
and horror to science fiction, spy thrillers and
more. And they’ve permeated pop culture far
beyond their pages. Along with spectacularly
successful comic and film franchises such as
Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman, adaptations
of graphic novels and comics include the
epic “300,” the artfully conceived “Sin City,”
“A History of Violence” and the nouveau
vampire thriller “30 Days of Night.”
The Comix Strip
presented by Sprint
aims to showcase
all that these
sophisticated art
forms have to offer, with noted personalities
on hand and booths manned by comic
shops and publishers such as Image Comics
— purveyor of titles such as “Dark Ivory,”
t’s been said that everyone has a book in them
— and the “Birds of Paradise” project set out
to prove that Times readers have at least one
chapter apiece.
Launched in March as an innovative online
literary contest by Times columnist Steve Lopez,
who wrote and published chapter 1 in his March
30 column, the novel “Birds of Paradise: A Novel
Collaboration” grew a chapter a day and continues
to take shape leading up to the final readers’
submissions on Thursday, April 24. The full novel will
be unveiled at the Festival of Books.
Taking the lead from Lopez’ introductory chapter,
readers have submitted short chapters every day,
each building and shaping the story, with the best
submissions selected by Times staff members and
published in print and posted online at
latimes.com/novel the following day. “Birds of
Paradise” is the ultimate literary collaboration and
an exercise in crafting a story-in-progress, with the
narrative traveling in whichever direction the readers
and judges choose.
After the last reader-written chapter is chosen,
Lopez will pen the final chapter and the end result
will be read aloud by the winning contributors on
Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. at the Your Times Pavilion.
Farewell to a Friend
Dutton’s Brentwood Books
The Los Angeles Times and the Festival of Books would like to offer special thanks
and farewell to Dutton’s Brentwood Books for its ongoing support of the
Festival and, more importantly, its 23 years of service to readers, writers and booklovers in Los Angeles and beyond. While our Festival is a celebration of the written
word for one weekend a year, Dutton’s has been an ongoing celebration of literature
for more than two decades, and its impact on the literary landscape of Southern
California will be felt long after its doors have closed. “Invincible” and “New World Order.” Other
exhibitors include Boom! Studios — publisher
of comic books and graphic novels including
“Fall of Cthulhu” and “Jeremiah Harm” — and
Missile Rider Pub, which puts out the sci-fi
graphic novel series “The Strand Prophecy.”
Artists and writers will be available for
signings, including Mike Mignola, creator
of the “Hellboy” franchise and Dark Horse
Comics’ “B.P.R.D.” (Bureau of Paranormal
Research and Defense). Mignola will
appear as part of a panel titled “Comics
Superheroes of the Page & Screen.”
In a move to generate awareness of the
Comix Strip, the Festival of Books in February
invited fans, aspiring artists and graphic
designers to participate in a contest to create
a logo for this new Festival addition. The
winner, Kenny Keil, is a professional designer
and illustrator who was selected from among
10 semifinalists. Keil’s creation, featured at
left, will be prominently displayed at the Strip.

Children’s Areas North and South
Family Fun for Kids of All Ages
Y
ou needn’t be old enough to read
to enjoy the Festival of Books. The
popular Children’s Areas are back with
a whole host of family-friendly activities
— an eclectic mix of children’s literary
figures and clowns on stilts, jugglers, magic
tricks and so much more. One of the big
crowd-pleasers from last year, the Jumbo
Shrimp Circus, returns with three interactive
performances a day. The unique husbandand-wife troupe — clowns Moxie and Epoxie
— mixes juggling, plate spinning, magic and
comedy with audience participation that
really brings kids into the act.
On the Target Children’s Stage a host
of celebrity authors will present readings,
performances and book signings, including
actress Julie Andrews (“Simeon’s Gift”),
actress Marlee Matlin and co-author Doug
Cooney (“Leading Ladies”) — even comedian/
actor Cheech Marin (“Cheech the School Bus
Driver”) gets in on the fun. Actor/director
Henry Winkler and co-author Lin Oliver will
be on hand to read from “Hank Zipzer #14:
The Life of Me (Enter at Your Own Risk),”
and Playhouse Disney — a programming
block on the Disney Channel that caters to
preschoolers — will feature “Johnny and the
Sprites” and “Choo-Choo Soul.”
Other stars on the Target Children’s
Stage include TV and multimedia stars the
Doodlebops™ and Laughing Pizza! — a family
band that specializes in infectious pop music
for kids.
A new feature at the Festival, the
Children’s Crossword Puzzle aims to
entertain as well as educate. Syndicated
children’s crossword puzzle creators “Kids
Across Parents Down” put together a giant
puzzle that incorporates many of the authors

illustrations drawn together in one
exhibit. The Festival’s Art Exhibit in
the Children’s Area will host a collection
of original artwork that brings to life
this year’s theme: “Adventures in Picture
Books: Around the World and in Your
Own Backyard.”
Presented by Every Picture Tells a
Story bookseller and gallery in Santa
Monica, about 80 works from acclaimed
illustrators depict adventures far
flung and everyday, from the spooky
gargoyles and giant vegetables of David
Wiesner to the circus of Hilary Knight to
the wild washing machines of bestselling
author and illustrator Mo Willems.
The exhibit is designed to open up the
wonderful world of illustration to children,
exposing them to the myriad adventures
available between the covers of a good
book. Other featured artists include David
Shannon, Eric Carle, Rosemary Wells,

classic “Where the Wild Things Are.”

books of the past year,
the 28th annual Los
Angeles Times Book Prizes —
the cornerstone event of the
Festival — will be presented at
8 p.m. on Friday, April 25, at

figures, with best-selling author
Gay Talese serving as master of
ceremonies.

be announced that evening, and
novelist Maxine Hong Kingston
will receive the prestigious 2008
Robert Kirsch Award. Kingston,
a senior lecturer emerita at UC
Berkeley and director of the
Veterans Writing Project, is best
known for works that blend
fiction and nonfiction, including
the award-winning “The Woman
Warrior” and “China Men.”
The annual Kirsch Award
honors a living author who has
made a significant connection
to the American West — a fitting
tribute to Kirsch, a Times book
critic and supporter of Western
writers for more than a quarter
century before his death in 1980.
Another prominent former Times
book critic, Art Seidenbaum —
founder of the Book Prizes — will
be honored when the Seidenbaum
Award is presented to the winner
of the first fiction category.
“I was amazed at the
quality of contemporary fiction
[considered for the Book Prize
finalists],” said Susan Straight,
author and judge in the first
fiction and fiction categories.
“People talk about how much
publishing has changed, but
we read so many compelling
novels and collections that I
believe great writers are still
doing what they always do —
making up these fully imagined
worlds for readers to fall into as
through a layer of water.”
Finalists were selected
by eight three-member
committees, composed mostly
of published authors who serve
two-year terms as Book Prize
judges. A separate anonymous
panel of judges is responsible
for determining the winner of
the Robert Kirsch Award.
Tickets for the Book
Prizes are $18 and parking
is $8. A special package that
includes dinner with the
authors, premium seating at
the ceremony and parking is
available for $65. Visit
