LOS ANGELES TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS | THE LARGEST LITERARY GATHERING IN THE COUNTRY. WHERE 500+ VOICES SHARE ONE STAGE. STORIES, CELEBRITIES, AND CONVERSATIONS IN ONE PLACE. A FREE FESTIVAL OPEN TO EVERY KIND OF READER. PANELS, SIGNINGS, AND IDEAS ACROSS AN ENTIRE CAMPUS. WHERE BOOK LOVERS AND STORYTELLERS COLLIDE. A WEEKEND BUILT ON DISCOVERY, COMMUNITY, AND CREATIVITY. WHERE STORIES DON’T JUST LIVE, THEY CONNECT PEOPLE.
When the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books first began in 1996, it was built on a simple but powerful idea: bring books, authors, and readers together in a way that feels open, accessible, and alive. What started as a local literary gathering quickly grew into one of the largest and most celebrated book festivals in the United States. Over the years, LATFOB has become a cultural landmark, where storytelling goes beyond pages and becomes part of a shared, public experience.
Each year, the University of Southern California transforms into a vibrant literary space filled with energy, creativity, and conversation. Walk through the festival and you’ll find author panels, live discussions, book signings, performances, and interactive exhibits happening all at once. It’s not just about selling books. It’s about connecting people through ideas, perspectives, and stories that matter.
The 2026 festival continues that tradition, bringing together a diverse range of voices across genres, backgrounds, and styles. From emerging writers to established authors, the event celebrates storytelling in all its forms. It reflects a literary world that is constantly evolving, shaped by new ideas, cultural shifts, and the voices that dare to be heard.
Thousands of exhibitors take part in the festival, representing publishers, independent presses, educational institutions, and creative communities. The entire space becomes a living network of storytelling, where discovery happens naturally and every corner offers something new to explore.
Amid this dynamic and welcoming environment, Kravitz and Sons is proud to be part of the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2026. We’re excited to exhibit Creo En Santa Claus Y Creo En Dios: Por Qué Creo by Lynn Currie, a Spanish edition that brings the same deep and thoughtful discussion about belief to a broader audience. It invites readers to explore faith not as something distant, but as something that can be understood and examined.
This work carries its own voice, perspective, and purpose, offering readers something both meaningful and memorable. It creates space for reflection, allowing readers to approach belief with curiosity instead of hesitation.
A Clear Voice in a Complex Conversation
Currie’s strength lies in his ability to explain complex ideas in a way that feels natural. He does not rely on complicated language or abstract concepts that feel out of reach. Instead, he keeps everything grounded and understandable.
His tone is consistent throughout the book. Calm, respectful, and thoughtful. It feels like he is guiding the reader through his reasoning rather than pushing a fixed conclusion.
Facing Big Questions Without Fear
The book explores fundamental questions about life, existence, and the nature of reality. These are topics that often feel overwhelming, but Currie breaks them down into manageable ideas.
The reader becomes part of the process, thinking through each concept and forming personal conclusions. There is no pressure to agree. Only an invitation to think.
The takeaway is simple but meaningful. Belief can be intentional. It can be built on reasoning, not just emotion.
A Journey That Continues Beyond the Page
This is the kind of book that stays in your mind. It does not rush to finish. It leaves space for ongoing thought, making it more than just a reading experience.
