Hey kids, welcome to the Fall Book Quarterly '06. This time around, we take you inside the annual 215 Festival, a smorgasbord of literary excellence which starts right about now.

Brian Howard grills Mr. Ubiquitous John Hodgman — master of funny falsehoods — on the facts.

A.D. Amorosi chats with Amy Sedaris about the joy of cooking.

Tami Fertig rounds up the Festival highlights (and tips you off to another lit fest across the river).

That's not all:

Remember our conservative columnist Nancy French? The one everyone told to go home? She did. Back to Tennessee. We talk with her about her new book, A Red State of Mind: How A Catfish Queen Reject Became A Liberty Belle.

And just who is D.H. Dublin, the local author of new mystery Body Trace? We find out.

Plus, you'll find reviews!

We've got fiction: Lisa Moore, Robert Ward, Ryan Boudinot, Gideon Defoe, William Boyd, Renee Manfredi and Michael Cox
And non-fiction: All Governments Lie! The Life and Times of Rebel Journalist I.F. Stone, The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina, An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons and True Stories, The United States of Arugula: How We Became a Gourmet Nation, A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever, The Confession by James E. McGreevey, Second Acts: Presidential Lives and Legacies After the White House.
