Book nerds, unite! Madison Public Library\u2019s Wisconsin Book Festival<\/a>, now in its 15th year, returns November 2-5. This year\u2019s schedule<\/a> was announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Many events revolve around politics and pop culture, and a number of sessions have a tie to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Eau Claire\u2019s Nickolas Butler<\/a> will read from his most recent novel, The Hearts of Men<\/em>, on Saturday, Nov. 4<\/a> at Central Library. Butler is best known for his debut novel, Shotgun Lovesongs<\/em>, which earned him accolades such as the Midwest Booksellers Award, the Great Lakes, Great Reads Award and France\u2019s Prix PAGE\/America.<\/p>\n

Amy Goldstein<\/a> is a Pulitzer Prize-winning staff writer for The Washington Post and lives in Washington, D.C. She relocated to Janesville in order to have a firsthand view of the impact General Motors had on the city when the plant closed in 2008. Goldstein will discuss her research on Saturday, Nov. 4<\/a> at Central Library in an event presented in tandem with the Wisconsin Humanities Council.<\/p>\n

New York Times best-selling author Michael Perry<\/a> will teach a bit of philosophy as he presents a reading from his most recent book, Montaigne in Barn Boots<\/em>, at Central Library on Sunday, Nov. 5<\/a>. Perry grew up on New Auburn and now lives with his family in a rural community in the state where he volunteers with the local fire and rescue service. You can catch Perry on the nationally-syndicated \u201cTent Show Radio\u201d which airs here Saturday nights at 7 p.m. via WHA-AM 970 AM.<\/p>\n

Prepare yourself for the Festival by reviewing the entire event schedule<\/a> and by purchasing copies<\/a> of the books you hope to get autographed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
