People booking accommodation in Prague for the festival can look forward to appearances from three Nobel Prize-winners - Gao Xingjian, Herta Muller and Derek Walcott. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the event begins on Sunday (June 6th) and will offer a five-day programme of author talks, book signings and other special activities. With an attention-grabbing theme - "Heresy and Rebellion" - and other top writers such as Germany’s Hans Magnus Enzensberger and Spanish playwright Fernando Arrabal, this year’s programme is expected to be another major success for the festival. |
