Red Hook is hosting its first Literary Festival on Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Red Hook Village Building, located at 7467 South Broadway. The headliner is John Sayles, producer, director, screenwriter and author, who is perhaps more known for his films, including the widely acclaimed Matewan, Lone Star and Eight Men Out, than his novels, though Union Dues was nominated for the National Book Award. Sayles, a local resident, will discuss his creative process and presumably the secret to such a distinguished, prolific body of work. His latest film, Amigo, was released in 2011 and is set during the same period as his novel A Moment in the Sun, now available in paperback.
