Once a year, the entire city of Edmonton hosts a series of lectures by nonfiction authors at a collection of different venues. LitFest's presenters focus on memoir, social and cultural science, the arts, cooking and writers' personal journeys and influences. This year's LitFest will run from Thursday, October 13 to Sunday, October 23, but the LitFest 2016 reading list is now up on their website, showcasing books by 2016's presenters. The presenting author's books will be for sale at their venues, and anyone is welcome at the lecture.
