The first Word Blue Hill Literary Arts Festival, held Oct. 20-22, was a success. the many and diverse workshops were either full or overflowing and over 100 people turned out for the opening event where “A Gambler’s Anatomy” author and part-time Blue Hill resident Jonathan Lethem was interviewed by Slate magazine critic Laura Miller.
