Twin Cities Book Festival

In addition to our blockbuster big day on October 19, this year’s TCBF will include select community events in the weeks before and after. Extend your festival fun!

Rain Taxi kicks off the 2024 TCBF season with a two-night doubleheader at Magers & Quinn Booksellers-join us for either or both!  We’ve got a pretty good rep for recommending first books that stand out, and we heartily endorse these new novels launching in September. For both events, we’ve lined up a Minnesota author who already had a debut that wowed us to serve as a conversation partner for our featured guest. Also, we’ll have refreshments on hand to kick off your literary season in style. See you there!

Katherine Packert Burke
In conversation with torrin a. greathouse

As it follows Edith's years-long journey away from the person she loves most and toward a hazy new understanding of who she will become, Still Life (Norton) is a profound and piercing tribute to messy webs of queer friendship and to what is left behind in transition. Katherine Packert Burke, a graduate of the Clarion Writer’s Workshop and the MFA program at the University of Alabama, has just moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. For this welcome and book launch, she will be in conversation with poet torrin a. greathouse, author of the Kate Tufts Discovery Award-winning Wound from the Mouth of a Wound (Milkweed Editions) and a new work, DEED (Wesleyan University Press).
