Lit in the Lou

Calling all bibliophiles: Lit in the Lou returns for another large-scale celebration of reading (in general) and literary life in St. Louis (in particular). Partake in author-led panel discussions about books that address income inequality and race issues, among other important topics. Throughout the day, hear live music, enjoy tasty food, and join with other literary-minded St. Louisans who seek to understand the human condition through the written word. Confirmed attending authors include DuEwa Frazier, Jane Ellen Ibur and Aaron Williams. Lit in the Lou takes place at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday (October 3 and 4) at the Julia Goldstein Early Childhood Education Center (737 Kingsland Avenue, University City; 314-363-4546 or stllit.blogspot.com). Admission is free.
