Eleven PEN-supported authors will be appearing at events across this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival, including Cédric Villani, Yuri Herrera, Susana Moreira Marques, Etgar Keret and Alain Mabanckou.
The festival is the largest public celebration of the written word in the world, bringing over 800 writers and thinkers from across the globe to meet every August. The programme takes a voyage of discovery to every continent to see how the stories shape our lives, opinions and identities.
In its most international programme to date, the Book Festival welcomes voices from over 55 countries writing in a multitude of languages, many of whom are translated into English for the first time.
