LéaLA, the Spanish-language Book Fair of Los Angeles, returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center for its fourth time from May 15-17, 2015. The public program is aimed at the public looking to celebrate “Latino heritage, as well as to meaningful literary and cultural traditions in the Spanish language.” (From an article by Publishing Perspectives).

“LéaLA is a unique opportunity to appreciate literature in our language and prove that ‘LOS ANGELES READS TOGETHER’,” emphasizes Marisol Schulz, the director of LéaLA. “More than 85,000 visitors attended the previous edition of LéaLA, a figure that we hope to surpass in this fourth edition, given the Spanish-speaking population’s need for access to reading materials in Spanish,” said Schulz.

More than 100 authors will participate, including the winner of the 2014 FIL prize, Italian writer Claudio Magris (nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on several occasions), in conversation with Juan Villoro, Federico Reyes Heroles, Sanjuana Martínez, Lydia Cacho, Francisco Hinojosa, Diego Osorno, Anabel Hernández, José Reveles, Élmer Mendoza, Mario Bellatin, Alberto Ruy-Sánchez, Javier Sicilia, Eduardo Rabasa, Felipe Garrido, Silvia Lemus, Jorge F. Hernández, Benito Taibo, Rosa Beltrán, Ana Clavel, Carmen Boullosa, Xavier Velasco, Jennifer Clement, David Unger, Cristina Rivera Garza, José Iturriaga, César Lozano, Adrian González, Alberto Chimal, Eduardo Antonio Parra, Mabel Katz and María Antonieta Collins, among others.
