New York — Expect some laughs, and more serious talk, at this year's adult author breakfast at BookExpo.
Convention organisers ReedPop told The Associated Press on Monday that Daily Show host and best-selling memoir writer Trevor Noah will be a featured speaker at the May 31 event.

Other guests will include fiction writers Barbara Kingsolver and Nicholas Sparks and historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore.
