The prizes were presented the evening before the L.A. Times Festival of Books on the USC University Park Campus.

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, which continues through Sunday, will draw an estimated 150,000 people to the University Park Campus.

Among the winners were widely known historians and journalists, including biography winner Beverly Gage, for G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century, and Dahlia Lithwick, whose Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America, won the current interest prize.

The nation’s largest literary festival — sponsored by USC and the Los Angeles Times — will be held online for the second year in a row due to COVID-19.

The festival — usually held on the USC University Park Campus — features more than two dozen online events over four weeks.

The event — the nation’s largest literary and cultural festival — traditionally draws more than 150,000 people to the USC University Park Campus.

In its 25th year, the annual L.A. Times Festival of Books is scheduled to return to USC this fall.

The event — the largest literary and cultural festival in the nation — attracted more than 150,000 people.

Now in its ninth year on the USC University Park Campus, the largest literary and cultural festival in the nation is expected to draw more than 150,000 attendees.
