Eleven countries are participating in a one-day streaming literary festival. Repping the Bay is Greg Sarris, famed for his Native American books and activism.
Who knows what COVID will do to in-person book festivals in 2022, but for those who want an alternative experience, head for “The one-day event has tapped literary festivals from 12 countries to celebrate local authors and culture. Sarris takes the finale spot with Cherilyn Parsons of the Bay Area Book Festival to chat about the ascendancy of Native American literature in the U.S.
A longtime activist and leader – he’s chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria – Sarris has written extensively about Native American culture in “Grand Avenue,” which became an HBO production about tribal life around Santa Rosa, and the wonderfully titled examination of American Indian texts, “Keeping Slug Woman Alive.
Folks who peruse the 7-hour festival will find other thought-provoking gems, such as how the novel “Dustfall” emerged from a deadly Australian asbestos disaster, and Norway’s Linn Ullmann discussing a book dealing with suppressed memories, with live accompaniment from a musician known for yodels and throat-singing.
