The Fourth Annual Multilingual New York Book Fair Expo celebrates this year the richness and diversity of the languages of New York. The academic and cultural program will present music, theatre, literary readings; and book signings showcasing authors who write their works in one of the eight most spoken languages in the City besides English. New York Book Fair Expo is proud to present a distinguished group of authors, some of them living in the States and others coming from Argentina, Colombia, India, Greece, Panama, and other corners of the world, all converging in the NY Melting Pot.
