A pair of prominent feminist authors will be the featured guests at the AJC Decatur Book Festival over Labor Day Weekend in Decatur Square.

Erica Jong will be the keynote speaker at the event and will field questions from fellow author Roxane Gay as her keynote address. Jong is most famous for her 1973 book “Fear of Flying,” while Gay published “Bad Feminist” and “Untamed State” in 2014.

Other authors at the festival include Celeste Ng, James Hannaham, Drew Daywalt, and Judy Schachner, the AJC says. Events for the festival include a pair of children’s parades, cooking demonstrations, and performance art.

The theme for this year’s festival is “Read Different.”
