Given some of the writers involved, we suspect that many of you will find the
Page Turner Festival to be of interest. It kicks off tonight, with the bulk of events taking place in DUMBO on Saturday, including appearances from the likes of Teju Cole, Alexander Chee, Amitav Ghosh, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Junot Diaz.

The Asian American Writers’ Workshop is running a Kickstarter to raise money for the festival, with incentives ranging from mix CDs to documentaries to tasty, tasty ice cream.
