Hey, nothing ever happens in Tucson. Wait, there's a huge book fair! Your assignment, should you choose to accept it (for UP TO five extra credit points) is as follows: 1) Attend a reading or panel discussion at the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend. There should be local and visiting authors of all kinds, so find a topic, film screening or author that interests you. (Watch this trailer to get a sense of what the event entails.) 2) After going to at least one event hosted by the Tucson Festival of Books, please pretend that you came home to find a nasty editorial in the Arizona Daily Star about how there is no culture in Tucson. In the form of a comment to this blog, please write an editorial (300 words) refuting this claim, using detailed observations from your experience at the book fair. In other words, (whether this is your actual opinion or not) you are arguing that Tucson does in fact have a cultural scene, and detailed references to your experience at the book fair are your proof.Enjoy!
