Southern California’s premier literary event (and we’re not just saying that because, well, it’s ours), the L.A. Times Festival of Books will feature two days of panels, readings and discussions on far-flung topics like California noir, water policy, Dave Eggers and the toughest question in fiction (how to write a sex scene without embarrassing yourself).
