As part of The Washington Post’s longstanding partnership with the National Book Festival, “Book World” published a special edition covering the day-long programming at the festival. Additional copies will be distributed to visitors on Sept. 24. More than 20 Washington Post journalists and editors from across the newsroom will moderate discussions with festival authors, including Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author; Yaa Gyasi, debut novelist of “Homegoing”; and Lauren Groff, bestselling novelist; among others.
