N.C. friends, don’t forget: The 2009 North Carolina Literary Festival takes place this weekend, Sept. 10-12, at UNC-Chapel Hill. Thursday afternoon events include poet James Applewhite, fiction master Tobias Wolff, and a keynote address by John Grisham and Kathy Reichs. And that’s just the beginning of a long weekend that includes not only leading North Carolina writers but also fine talent from beyond the state’s borders.
