The Tucson Festival of Books brings together authors, publishers and the reading public in a family-friendly community event. Come join and visit the Department of German Studies as part of the College of Humanities booth at the Tucson Festival of Books, where several members of our esteemed faculty will be present to answer questions about their most recent publications.
