The Dublin Book Festival website is up and has a full list of events. It will be running from 7 - 9 March and will act as a showcase of new and established Irish writing talent.
I’ve come up with a few highlights from the three days including:
Friday 7 -
> Author reading with emerging writers - Geraldine Creed, Alison Foster and David Maybury
> In Conversation: Anthony Cronin
> Author reading with Liam Ó Muirthile, Colm Breathnach, Deirdre Brennan and Cliodhna Cussen
> Up For Discussion: DeValera VS. Collins with Ryle Dwyer, Mary Banotti and Dr. Martin Mansergh TD, chaired by Eoin Purcell, Mercier Press
Saturday 8 -
>Treats for Kids with Tom McCaughren
>10th Birthday Celebration | International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY)
>Author reading with Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Medbh McGuckian, Pat Boran and Joan Newmann
Sunday 9 -
>Author reading with Kevin Barry, Geraldine Mills and Mike McCormack
In case you missed what I cleverly did there, have a second look at the first event on Friday. It should be an interesting weekend - so if you’re around drop in and have a read/listen to what ever is going on.
WHAT
I am so totally emerging right now, what’s the deal?
Enough said there I guess.
You’re reading with Alison! Hope to see you there
Hi EM - looking forward to meeting you (at last)
