Everybody and their brother will be at the Brooklyn Book Festival this weekend. Everybody includes: Joan Didion (pictured), Thurston Moore, and A.M. Homes.

For those unacquainted with the borough, Brooklyn Based has a great guide to the festivities. For those unacquainted with the line-up, Ed Park has the scoop on his star-studded appearance with Chuck Klosterman and Charles Bock.

If all that literary action puts you in the writing mood, then maybe you should sneak off to one of novelist Kate Christensen's favorite Brooklyn writing spots and indulge yourself.
