To make up for this lack of attention, the IAS will host the day-long Bookfest of Forgotten Publications.
Each author will be given 25 minutes to present their book. How they use that time is up to them - it might be a presentation, a discussion or a reading. It might be by themselves, with co-authors and editors or respondents.
The Bookfest will be followed by a celebratory reception.
