“It’s just a really lovely, joyful thing. Yoon, recalling the first event, says the combination of the space, the exhibitors and the attendees offers something really special. Attendees can also check out the art on display at the exhibition.

There will be panels and workshops on topics such as poetry, translation and film and TV adaptation as well as a free screen printing station and book arts demonstrations. Vendors will be selling food and drinks, and there’s a restaurant onsite. “This ecosystem here in LA for small independent presses must be just thriving,” says Peyton. “Because everyone wanted to come out.” There will be 48 exhibitors this time around, including local publishers, bookstores, nonprofits, and libraries, including Con Todo Press, Red Hen Press, the Inlandia Institute, Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural & Bookstore and the International Printing Museum and more. So that is the logic behind keeping LitLit little.” “Visitors can come and meet the people behind these books and be exposed to new books that they might not have found through the algorithm, because they’re produced by independent publishers.
“It’s called the Little Literary Fair, not only because we want to make sure that it’s accessible and affordable for small presses, but also because we want it to be a really intimate event,” says Peyton. This weekend will be the second edition.īoth Yoon and Peyton underscored the intimacy of the event as one of its goals and charms. I spoke with Irene Yoon, executive director of the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB), and Kelly Peyton, Public Programs and Engagement Manager for LARB, about the event, which grew out of a 2017 summer program before blossoming into the first full-blown festival in 2019.

The free LitLit event, which is presented by the Los Angeles Review of Books in partnership with Hauser & Wirth Publishers, will take place on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31 from 11 a.m. So this weekend’s Little Literary Fair, or LitLit, could be just the thing for someone looking to connect with books and publishers but not huge crowds. For some, navigating the crowds at big book festivals can feel like the antithesis of the typically solitary pursuit of reading.
