2010 Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival
The 2010 Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival will be celebrating its tenth year anniversary this year with some of the book world’s biggest names. From Thursday, 11 March to Friday, 19 March 2010, the Literary Festival presents important and influential authors side by side with distinctive new writers; provides regional and local talents with access to an internationally recognized platform from which to introduce their work; and fosters an awareness of the variety and richness of writing from and about Asia. Voracious readers and book hoarders will be delighted with this year's line up of writers. The Festival is also a celebration of ideas; ideas that challenge politics, ideas about sustainable business and ideas addressing the cultural climate in which we live. Events during the Festival provide readers and writers with an opportunity to meet, to debate and to enjoy conversation. From panel discussions to literary lunches, university lectures to the Financial Times debate, the Festival is an intellectual forum as well as an artistic platform.
