The 2022 Brattleboro Literary Festival is celebrating its 21st year with a live and in-person festival for the first time since 2019. And, as always, it is all free and open to the public.

More than 65 authors, both award-winning and emerging, will converge on downtown Brattleboro October 12-16, with books that cover a wide range of subjects: rebellious women, immigrants in America, abortion and eugenics, urban crime, Antarctic adventures, addiction, aging and legacies, ghosts and lovers, mystery, history, New England life, football in wartime, small towns, mushrooms, coming-of-age, clothing, cartoons, and pigs!

Authors include best-selling novelist Tom Perrotta, whose book The Leftovers was adapted for an award-winning HBO series, 2022 Pulitzer Prize in History winner Nicole Eustace, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Buzz Bissinger, whose book Friday Night Lights was adapted to a long-running, award-winning series on NBC, 2022 Pulitzer finalists Joshua Prager with the story of Jane Roe and Janet Nimura in The Doctors Blackwell, a panel of four New Yorker cartoonists: Harry Bliss, David Sipress, Ellis Rosen and Sofia Warren, and 2021 National Book Award Award winner in Poetry, Martín Espada.
