About this event
One park. Ten days. A world of stories: The International Literature Festival Dublin [ILFD] brings its 29th edition this May with many exciting literary talents attending this year’s festival.
In conversation will be, Colm Tóibín who launches his new work "The News from Dublin: Stories"; actor and best-selling author Richard Armitage, also launches his new book "The Cut", a brilliantly crafted psychological thriller; Doireann Ní Ghríofa's unforgettable polyphonic history and ghost story "Said the Dead"; Russian political activist and writer, Maria Alyokhina, comes to Dublin to talk about her memoir, "Political Girl"; and Tana French launches her new book "The Keeper", the final crime book in her million-copy-bestselling Cal Hooper trilogy.
