The Edinburgh International Book Festival began in 1983 and is now a key event in the August Festival season, celebrated annually in Scotland's capital city. The Book Festival has grown rapidly in size and scope to become the largest and most dynamic festival of its kind in the world. |

Since its inception, the Book Festival's home has been the beautiful and historic Charlotte Square Gardens, centrally located in Edinburgh's world heritage listed Georgian New Town. Each year it welcomes around 220,000 visitors. Writers from all over the world gather to become part of this unique forum in which audience and author meet to exchange thoughts and opinions on some of the world's most pressing issues. This year, one of Mexico’s most exciting novelists, Álvaro Enrigue, will talk about his new novel, Sudden Death, his tale that according to Enrique Vila-Matas ‘truly defies the bounds of the novel’. It's about a brutal tennis match between Caravaggio and Spanish poet Francisco de Quevedo. In the Shadow of Roberto Bolaño - Álvaro Enrigue Where: When: Web page: |
