LitFest in the Dena, Los Angeles (5/4-5)

LitFest 2024 (litfestinthedena.org)

This year’s theme is BOOKS THAT MADE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Neighborhoods, whether real or imagined, conventional or boundless, changing for better or worse, bestow an identity. They give us a way to see things – a way to see the world.

A neighborhood’s more than a collection of houses on a network of streets.

Storytelling, books, and poetry make us.

A neighborhood could be defined as a collection of people with unique experiences, conditions, and desires, who together form something bigger and more deeply affecting.

It’s where people engender powerful stories together. “It could be that the neighborhood, not the individual, is the essential unit of social change…when you think in neighborhood terms you see things previously rendered invisible.” — David Brooks, New York Times
