FICTION FIESTA 2013| EVENT PREVIEW
Cardiff University
Sat 18 + Sun 19 May
Admission: free
words: Molly Chinner
Building on the great success of last year’s event, Fiction Fiesta is returning to Cardiff University for another year or literary celebration. The festival, taking place over this coming weekend, is a celebration of the inventive written word in all of its fictional forms and showcases everything from the best of our home-grown talent to international best-sellers and professionals.
The two-day festival will include readings from internationally renowned authors, poets and critics who will also be leading discussions on certain literary topics. Day one plays host to such distinct figures as Angharad Price, Ines Garland and Eduardo Halfon in the morning, with the afternoon session focusing more on UK writers. Day two reverses this concept, with a special reading from a Latin American literary group in the afternoon.
The festival is a fun few days of fantasy and fiction and will open the mind of the fact-follower. Check out Cardiff Uni’s website for more info.
