³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Meet two of the most exciting novelists in the world today in a session chaired by Daniel Hahn. Javier Cercas is an Independent Foreign Fiction Prize-winner and returns with Outlaws, a superbly plotted story of three teenage outsiders in post-Franco Spain. Michel Laub’s Diary of the Fall has won major prizes in Brazil, and now readers of the English edition can see why: this story of love between father and son is gorgeous and heartbreaking.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Arts is showcasing some of the most exciting new talent appearing at this year’s Edinburgh Book Festival featuring authors appearing under its ‘First Book Award’ umbrella. It is a chance to hear both debut authors and international writers newly translated into English, who promise to take literary Edinburgh by storm.
