Trib Nation at Printers Row Lit Fest 2012

It's time for Printers Row Lit Fest: When the booksellers pack their wares for display in the South Loop, authors block off their schedules to talk with their readers, and we at the Chicago Tribune and everyone else who loves the printed word heads for the tents with the shelves.

This year again, Trib Nation will have a tent where we can socialize and where our reporters, photographers, editors and columnists will interview some of your favorite authors on our beats. And we look forward to talking with you ourselves.

About 250 authors will appear and talk with readers about their work. They'll be talking all day, each day, on 17 different stages. Here is Saturday's full schedule and here is Sunday's.

Please do stop by and say hello at the Trib Nation stage (Map of the fest is here) located in Page Break Park just north of Grace Place, 637 S. Dearborn St.

Here's who'll be talking there, and when:
