As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “Duel Reflection” by Tom A. Keck.
“Duel Reflection” presents a compelling exploration of the internal struggles we face within our minds, framing them as a battle that shapes our consciousness and spiritual growth. The concept of “DUEL” signifies the ongoing conflict between thoughts, emotions, and the deeper self, where the conscience plays a crucial role in refining our mental landscape.
Keck eloquently captures the essence of this struggle, suggesting that through introspection and self-examination, we can cultivate a more profound understanding of our spirit.
As the narrative unfolds, the act of writing becomes a vital tool for expression and reflection. The “papers void” symbolizes the blank canvas upon which our thoughts and feelings are poured, allowing for a gradual transformation into meaningful insights. Each impression left on the page serves as a step toward self-discovery, revealing the complexities of our inner world.
Ultimately, Keck’s work encourages readers to embrace their mental battles, recognizing that these struggles are not merely obstacles but opportunities for growth and enlightenment. “Duel Reflection” invites us to engage with our minds thoughtfully, fostering a deeper connection with our true selves.
