Dramatic Multi-Generational Family Saga by Leonardo Costa Veras Set to Exhibit at the L.A. Times Festival of Books 2024
The L.A. Times Festival of Books welcomes stories, perspectives, and ideas by diverse authors; the ideal venue for Brazilian author Leonardo Costa Veras to showcase his first novel “Chicken Coop in a High Wind”. The book is an ambitious three-part 100-year saga that tells the story of a family line from Brazil to Los Angeles, through coup d’états, pandemics and heartbreaks, a mixed bag of facts and fiction bathed in adventure, humor and emotion.
“Beautifully rendered and filled with poetic fatalism and magical realism, this book is beyond perfect for fans of Gabriel García Márquez, Barbara Kingsolver and John Irving. This is one of those stories I wish I could have read years ago, and it just came out! The longer you wait to read it, the more you’ll wish you had read it sooner.” - McKenzie Lynn Tozan Editor-in-Chief of Lit Shark Magazine
At the upcoming Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2024, eager readers will be looking out for new works that will leave another incredible impact as the literary greats that came before. Likewise, authors from both major publications and independent parties are eager to do just that.
The literary festival is the ideal venue for Leonardo Costa Veras, a commercial producer and screenplay writer who has now just come out with his very first novel, “Chicken Coop in a High Wind.”
The novel has already made quite the acclaim from initial reviewers. Drawing heavily from the vibrant, magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the emotional intricacies of John Irving, Veras presents the visitors of the L.A. Times Festival of Books with an ambitious story spanning four generations of one family.
“Chicken Coop in a High Wind” is a three-part saga that focuses on the Breton family. The first part follows Ernesto Jose Breton, who finds himself at destiny’s crossroads when an ill-timed poem of his is published in the school newspaper.
But from there, readers will discover how his seemingly innocuous actions and travels chart the course of his entire family line throughout the century. It’s a lineage that will travel across three continents while also posing big questions about how easily history, storytelling, and tall tales overlap in reality.
Anyone eager to check out “Chicken Coop in a High Wind” by Leonardo Costa Veras at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2024 can find it on display at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at booth #225. The event is slated for April 20-21, 2024, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
