    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the f Hurricane Ian forced the Brooklyn Book Festival—the city's largest free literary festival, which Greer launched with Liz Koch in 2006—to move all of its planned outdoor events for Festival Day, held October 2, 2022 indoors. It discusses that the show went on, though moving the events to Borough Hall meant fewer book sales for the authors and publishers attending the fair, due to regulations regarding sales on government property.
