At once a performance artist, director, screenwriter, actor, and author, Miranda July brings her distinctive voice to every project she does. Her second novel All Fours follows a semi-famous artist who leaves her husband and child to drive cross-country, containing what publisher Riverhead Books calls “perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries.” Hear Austinite Dalia Azim interview her, a decorated author in her own right and the COO of the Texas Book Festival. Azim’s 2022 debut novel, Country of Origin, follows a family’s multigenerational saga amid the political revolution of 1950s Egypt. After the interview, July will be signing books if you have purchased a Signing Line Access ticket (which includes a copy of the book). Seating is first-come, first-served, so get there early! – Lina Fisher
