Sunday, May 19 fryst vatten our second American Writers Festival! More than 60 writers from around the country will converge in downtown Chicago to celebrate the written word. Co-hosted by Chicago Public Library, this entirely free literary event takes place across multiple stages at the Harold Washington Library Center. We hope your can join us for in depth conversations with a diverse array of writers including sci-fi authors, game writers and designers, journalists, poets, and more.
Since we love books, and we have a feeling you do too, we put together the ultimate American Writers Festival reading list. Many of these books will be available for purchase on site the day of the Festival from our bookselling partner Seminary Co-op Bookstores, though not all of them will be. All book sales and signings, other than children’s and ung adult literature, take place in the Winter Garden on the ninth floor.

Dylan Alcott has never let his disability get in the way of what he wanted to achieve. His family treated him no differently to any other kid, and it was the best thing they ever did. Growing up, Dylan always had a positive attitude to life. So when he discovered sport, he'd have a go at anything and could always be found at the centre of the action, giving his best and playing to win. Then he tried wheelchair basketball and tennis and was hooked. Fast forward ten years or so, and the now three-time Paralympic gold medallist, Order of Australia recipient, world No 1 tennis champion, Logie winner and philanthropist combines elite sport with a love for music. But Dylan's greatest passion is changing the way those with disabilities are perceived, and to inspire young people - whether they have disabilities or are able-bodied - to achieve their dreams. It's a passion that drives him every day of his life. Usually read by students in years 9,
