The 15th Costa Rican International Book Fair attracts hundreds of authors, publishers, experts and vendors to the Antigua Aduana in Barrio Aranjuez. Co-organized by the Culture Ministry, the Chamber of Books and the College of Costa Rica (the Culture Ministry’s literary-arts program), the fair ends August 31st. The guest country this year is United States.
“The fair will appeal most to Spanish-speakers, as most of the books on display are written in Costa Rica’s official language. But this edition is a little different: The fair’s “special guest” is the United States – as in, the entire country. So if you hail from the U.S., you’ll not only get free admission to the fair, but you will also find a variety of Gringo-friendly books, readings and activities.”
