Big on Books

The Jewish Book Festival kicks off tonight with "a family of powerhouse authors" — Jonathan, Faye and Jesse Kellerman. Jonathan and his son Jesse wrote the supernatural mystery The Golem of Hollywood, and Faye Kellerman will talk about her latest novel, the thriller Murder 101. They speak tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Mandel Jewish Community Center. Their talk will be a Q&A and they'll hang around to sign books after they speak. The festival runs through Nov. 23.
