Congrats to Gene Luen Yang on winning a MacArthur Fellowship. I met him when he came out with his 2-volume Hakka graphic novel “Boxers and Saints”.

Some Photos from Brooklyn Book Festival 2016
(cross-posted at sswslitinmotion.tumblr.com)
Here are some photos of mine from Brooklyn Book Festival 2016. Not nearly as cool as my photos from 2013, from 2014 (like this one from 2014) or from 2015…
A photo of the Borough Hall Courtroom, where I attended the panel “Not So Generic: Diversity in Science Fiction presented by the Center for Fiction.”
Here’s another angle of the Borough Hall Courtroom.
Here’s a photo of One Pierrepont Plaza, from the Cadman Plaza view.
Below is an angle of Brooklyn Borough Hall, home of the office of the Brooklyn Borough President, with banners of the Borough President Eric Adams and Deputy Borough President Diana Reyna. My photo came off a little dark, since I didn’t realize that the sun was behind it (I’m not much of a photographer). The banners were a little puzzling to me, since prior Brooklyn Book Festivals of the past have used the Brooklyn Book Festival banners, but oh well. The festival was okay anyway; the construction around the area are nearing completion, so it overall looked decent.
