Encounter the wild, tender, funny, and often surprising world of Austin-based author Bret Anthony Johnston when he joins us at the 11th Annual Westminster Book Festival. He’ll read from his latest collection of Texas-steeped short stories, Encounters With Unexpected Animals, and engage in a lively audience Q&A.
We’ll have cocktails and appetizers, and there will be a book sale and signing. While you’re here, you can also check out our Resident Book Fair featuring Westminster’s resident writers who will be on hand to showcase their work.
Please RSVP by October 14th!
