May is Festival month

Auckland Writers and Readers Festival 2013 from Wednesday 15 May to Sunday 19 May promises readings, interviews and discussions to suit every taste. Everyone is invited to "think between the lines" and discover the best writers and thinkers who will be examining:
Faraway lands - Anita Desai (India), Sharad Paul (Tibet), Shehan Karunatilaka (Sri Lanka), John Sinclair (China) and Diego Marani (Finland)
Science and Reason - Dr Helena Popovic, Sir LLoyd Geering, Rebecca Priestley, Sylvia Nasar
Art, Music and Poetry - Jackie Kay, Ian Wedde, Fleur Adcock, Bill Manhire
There's examples of architecture, history, philosophy, ecology and food and plenty of fiction that I'm looking forward to the most - Life after life by Kate Atkinson, The writing class by Stephanie Johnson, The Crane wife by Patrick Ness, exciting new novels that really come to life when you hear the author talk about the ideas and characters they have created.

Join me there!
