The first annual Hoboken Literary Weekend takes place April 5-7 and features events with a range of adult and children's authors, including Daniel Pink, Colm Tóibín, Veronica Chambers and more. Friday evening's event includes opening remarks by Mayor Ravi Bhalla and an appearance by Anna Quindlen, who will be in conversation with local resident, publisher and author David Levithan. After the conversation, q&a and signing, a whisky tasting will be hosted by spirits author Clay Risen. The closing event, Sunday evening, features Pulitzer Prize-winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon and his band, Rogue Oliphant.
Hoboken Literary Weekend's sponsor is Little City Books, which will host some events; others will be held at the Hoboken Public Library.
