The lineup for BookExpo's Adult Book & Author Breakfast, scheduled for Thursday, May 30, has been announced. Rachel Maddow, political commentator, author and host of MSNBC's Emmy Award-winning The Rachel Maddow Show, will emcee and discuss her forthcoming, as yet untitled, book, for the first time.
Joining Maddow onstage will be Malcolm Gladwell to talk about his new book, Talking to Strangers; Karin Slaughter to discuss her upcoming thriller, The Last Widow; Ta-Nehisi Coates to preview his next work and first novel, The Water Dancer; and Marjorie Liu, to talk about her award-winning comic series Monstress, created with Sana Takeda.
"Each year, our Adult Book & Author Breakfast invites attendees to hear from an eclectic mix of storytellers who are each greatly impacting the industry," said Jennifer Martin, event director, BookExpo. "One of our most popular events of the show, the Breakfast offers an unparalleled opportunity to hear from some of the most prominent authors in publishing today."
The Children's Book & Author Breakfast, hosted by co-hosted by Jenna Bush Hager & Barbara Pierce Bush, will take place the following morning, on Friday, May 31.
