Susan Larson, books editor of The Times-Picayune, has done her usual excellent job chronicling the dozens of events on the schedule at this week's Festival. (The T-P's mystery critic, Diana Pinckley, will also be interviewing Sharyn McCrumb on Friday afternoon.) And Cheré Coen of The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette, La. has her own preview of the Fest as well.
Susan also has a rundown for Friday's Tennessee Williams Scholars' Conference, which includes the following anecdote:
Lest you think it may be too dry and scholarly, there are lots of anecdotes such as this one, told by Robert Bray: "Tennessee said of his own family, 'We're all crazy, but Dakin [Williams, Tennessee's brother] is the craziest of all of us.' And Dakin's rejoinder was, 'Well, maybe so, but I'm the one who got in the car and drove all of you to the mental institutions.' "
