Belfast Book Festival 2011 (Northern Ireland)

In a Festival that now offers some 40 events, the organisers have tried as much as possible to appeal to a wide range of readers and writers across Belfast. There are established authors such as John Banville, Maurice Leitch, and David Peace; local authors with new works, Jo Baker and Lucy Caldwell; performers such as Larry Lamb and Owen O'Neill; poets like Martin Mooney, Leontia Flynn and Ben Maeir. There'll also be events based on The Belfast Blitz: The People's Story with readings from a new book of eye-witness accounts, the first live performance of W.R. Rodger's The Return Room, as well as an exhibition of photography books based on the Belfast Exposed archive - Until June 19, 2011
