Tayari Jones’ Kin is one of the hottest books of 2026—a New York Times bestseller, Oprah’s Book Club choice, and a top fiction pick on Barack Obama’s Summer 2026 reading list. We’ve been waiting all year to host her, and found the perfect host when we discovered fellow Festival author Liz Nugent (The Truth About Ruby Cooper) is a Jones fan too. If you follow @Tayari on Threads, you know that she’s uniquely responsive and kind to her readers, spreading 💛🧡💚 far and wide. Let’s return the love, Calgary!
