The Radical Bookfair Pavilion!

Sep 18, 2009

Get ready - in less than a week, the Radical Bookfair Pavilion is once again pitching two giant tents full of radical awesomeness in the middle of the Baltimore Book Festival (right around the corner from Red Emma's in Mt. Vernon Place).  On Friday September 25th we've got a zine bazaar running all day from 12 to 6, followed by a special appearance from former Angola 3 political prisoner Robert Hilary King!  Saturday the 26th features book presentations from Steve Early, Eileen Myles, Vikki Law, Amiri Baraka, Ralph Nader, and Andrej Grubacic.  On Sunday the 27th we've got Dave Zirin, Molefi Asante, Bill Ayers, Margaret Killjoy, Peter Kuper and Jon Jeter lined up to present --- it's going to be an amazing weekend, and all our favorite radical publishers (including AK Press, Haymarket, Microcosm, PM Press, and Monthly Review) will be tabling for all three days, making it even better.  Check out the Radical Bookfair Pavilion site for more info and a complete schedule.

We're also figuring that some of these speakers (especially Amiri Baraka and Ralph Nader) are going to have a lot of people excited about getting a copy of their latest book signed - if you want to be clever, swing by Red Emma's any time to grab a copy beforehand, or stop by the Red Emma's tent at any point during the weekend to grab your books before the rest of the crowd.
