Cork World Book Festival

Thursday 19th - Monday 23rd April 2012

Cork World Book Fest combines readings by world class writers in a variety of settings with a cultural streetfair: book stalls, music, street entertainment, the spoken word, and more.

It is a participative, inclusive event, involving members of e.g. book clubs as well as giving audiences who would not normally attend literary events a chance to experience readings by leading Irish and international writers.

Featured writers in 2011 included Canadians Alistair McLeod and Marc Antony Jarman, Irish writers Claire Keegan and paul Murray, both of whom had acclaimed novels in 2010 – Foster and Skippy dies respectively, plus writers from other countries.
