Curated by Vivienne Guinness, Eleanor O’Keefe and Catherine-Anne Heaney, 2013s line-up will include Martin Amis, PJ Harvey, Ann Enright, Ben Anderson, Isabel Fonseca, John Boyne, Fintan O'Toole, John Lanchester, Niall Toner, Paolo Tullio, Selina Guinness, Selina Hastings, Donal Ryan, Polly Devlin, Don McCullin, Mariella Frostrup, Ben Okri, Paul Murray, Olivia O’Leary, Giles Duley, Colm O’Gorman, Dorothy Cross, Kevin Power, Lenny Abrahamson, Michael Craig Martin, Peter Somerville-Large, Sean Hardie, Sinead Gleeson and lots more.
