Dublin Writers Festival kicks off this May, running from the 17th to the 25th. They’ve just announced a few events, with Ray Davies of the Kinks possibly the most the exciting of the bunch. Ray has just released a new book, ‘Americana: The Kinks, The Road And The Perfect Riff‘.

Emma Donoghue will be in Dublin Castle to discuss her new novel Frog Music on March 29 (yes, well before the festival starts!).

Anita Shreve will be in Smock Alley Theatre on April 2, again with her new book ‘Stella Bain’.
