It's 9 days, 19 venues and over 90 events as the International Literature Festival 2015 returns to Dublin from May 16-24.
Immediately catching the eye are Jon Ronson @ O'Reilly Theatre (19); Guantanamo Diary @ O'Reilly Theatre (19); Paul Muldoon @ Liberty Hall (20); Irvine Welsh @ Liberty Hall (22), and Anne Enright @ Smock Alley Theatre (23).
Add the likes of Gerbrand Bakker, Johann Hari, Azar Nafisi, Fiona Shaw, Oliver Jeffers, John Gray, Chris Haughton, Sarah Ardizzone and Alexander McCall Smith to the mix, and it's quite the multinational gathering of the literary clans!
