  • Michael Lewis (author of “Moneyball” and “The Big Short”)
  • Viet Thanh Nguyen (author of “The Refugees” and “The Sympathizer”)
  • Curtis Sittenfeld (author of “Romantic Comedy”)
  • and more

Peep the list of authors. Advance ($15) or day-of ($25) passes include a $5 book fair voucher and entry into the Portland Art Museum. Bonus: Kids under 17 get in free. Grab your passes.
