Donors Make the Difference
"I have been to the festival and involved in the planning for many years, and this virtual lineup was better than ever--the guests were crucial and diverse, and the impressive line-up gave voice to the continued popularity of books and indeed their increased import during this time. Virtual or no, the DBF remains a touchstone and north star."
