John Kenyon is the director of the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature, presenting the Iowa City Book Festival Oct. 1-7. Dozens of literary events, most of them free, will range from a talk by rapper and actor Common to the celebration of this year’s Paul Engle Award winner, Dina Nayeri.
There will even be a public reading of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” to celebrate its 200th anniversary.
