Literati scheduled to appear at this year’s fair include Devorah Telushkin, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s translator and editor, and Brad Meltzer, author of the successful The Tenth Justice. Submit by September 26 to: Larry Elsner, Works in Progress Coordinator, 1608 Preston Av., Austin, TX, 78703. For more information contact 331-1144.
