“Such Friends”: May 11, 2024, Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Highland Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

At this year’s third annual Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books we will celebrate the launch of the fifth volume in the series, “Such Friends”:  The Literary 1920s. Halfway through the decade!

Volume V, covering 1924, continues to chronicle the private and professional lives of the key figures in the literary world in the fabulous decade of the 1920s.

“Such Friends”:  The Literary 1920s, Volume V—1924

You can see how the year ends before the postings on this blog get there!

Like the other four volumes—all available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk—Volume V has a unique dip-in-and-dip-out layout, designed by Lisa Thomson (LisaT2@comcast.net), that makes it easy to find the writers, artists, events and dates you’re most interested in. Find out what Ernest Hemingway was doing 100 years ago on your birth date! What was Virginia Woolf doing this week?! Or read straight through from January 1^st through December 31^st.

Copies of the first four volumes will be available at the “Such Friends” booth in Writer’s Row at the Festival. Not only can you take advantage of the Festival discount—I’m happy to personally sign your copies!

Thanks to Amazon’s crack delivery system, you will also be able to enter the “Such Friends” raffle to win a free copy of the new “Such Friends”:  The Literary 1920s, Volume V—1924, when they finally arrive, shortly after the Festival.

If you can’t make it to Highland Park next Saturday between 10 am and 5 pm, or just can’t wait that long, you can order your copies of all five volumes now from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, or by emailing me at kaydee@gypsyteacher.com.

See you at the Festival!

“Such Friends”: May 11, 2024, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Highland Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We interrupt this chronicle of what was happening 100 years ago in the literary and cultural world to look forward to what will be happening next month in the literary and cultural world of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books is back—without the rain! [We hope.]

It can’t possibly rain as much as it did last year, so plan to stop by on Saturday, May 11, at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary on Highland Avenue in Highland Park, conveniently located a few blocks from “Such Friends” global headquarters. We will be there once again all day at our table on Writers’ Row.

Of course, there will be plenty of copies of the first four volumes in the paperback series, “Such Friends”:  The Literary 1920s, covering 1920 through 1923, available at a special Festival discount price. I’ll even sign them!

But, in addition—wait for it—if the Amazon gods smile on us—there will also be copies of Volume V, 1924, available, at a discount and signed. Be the first to get yours!

The layout of all five volumes makes it easy to dip and out or read straight through a year from January 1^st through December 31^st. And remember, they make great gifts!
