Edinburgh International Book Festival Themes: Fiction at its Finest
From debut novelists to giants of literature: hear from some of the world’s finest writers of fiction.
About Edinburgh International Book Festival Themes: Fiction at its Finest
When world events feel outside our control, where can we go to find some perspective? The best stories – the ones that linger in the memory long after the last page is turned – allow us to process big issues slowly. These are the stories which teach us more about ourselves and the world we live in. That give us those vital moments of clarity and understanding. That not only put us in the shoes of others but help us feel the tingling of another’s skin. From debut novelists to giants of literature: hear from some of the world’s finest writers of fiction.
Please note that there are over 100 events under this theme.
