Actor Ethan Hawke for his new graphic novel, ‘Indeh.’

CHICAGO – Actor Ethan Hawke continues his plethora of vocations with the “hawkeing” of “Indeh,” his new graphic novel (co-authored with Greg Ruth) at the 2016 Printers Row Lit Fest in June. He was the celebrity spotlight, but the festival also featured the heavy hitters of the literary world, including notables Terry McMillan (“How Stella Got Her Groove Back”) and R.L.“Goosebumps” Stine.

The Printers Row Lit Fest bills itself as the Midwest’s “Largest Outdoor Literary Festival.” For two days, book buffs get to browse tome tables, meet their favorite scribes and bask in one of the Chicago’s most vital and historic downtown neighborhoods. The area of Chicago was once home to the heart of the printing and publishing industry in the city, and still serves as the host of the annual literature festival.

Photographer Joe Arce was on the scene, and snapped these Exclusive Photos at the Fest. Besides “Indeh,” moonlighting actor Ethan Hawke has written “Rules for a Knight” and “Ash Wednesday.” And R.L. Stine is an icon in Youth Fiction with his popular “Goosebumps” series of books.
