Dublin Writers Festival
Published 21st May 2008 by Javier Munoz

The Dublin Writers Festival will take place from Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th June inclusive. Over the four days, Dublin will host over 40 Irish and international writers and poets, journalists, political commentators, and even lawyers for a series of readings, discussions, debates and public interviews. The Festival will explore the themes such as war, loss, national identity, Irish values, childhood, crime, and the art of the short story. The 2008 line-up includes a special, rare retrospective event at the Project Arts Centre with multi-million selling author JP Donleavey. The Dublin Writers Festival will also celebrate the remarkable career of one of the seminal playwrights of 20th and 21st-century British culture, Tom Stoppard, at the Hamilton Building at Trinity College Dublin.
