Texas Book Festival isn’t until November, but luckily they keep the literary happenings going all year long. For this special event moderated by NYT bestselling author Ali Hazelwood, TBF and BookPeople welcome Dallasite R.F. Kuang (Babel, Yellowface) to celebrate her new novel. Written while working on a Ph.D. at Yale, Katabasis blends academia, fantasy, and philosophy for a captivating and intellectually stimulating story of a grad student who ventures to the underworld to save her adviser. It’s sure to be one of the most talked-about novels this year, so get in on the ground floor and snag a signed copy. – Kat McNevins
