The story is a “a kind of warning”, he said. “Writers have no power, we don’t have armies, most of us do not have any money but what we do is tell the future what the past is like, and so the history of the human race is in our hands”

Time to return to @dalkeybookfest, where Bono once regaled me with stories about Angela Merkel and where I talked to Chris de Burgh for an hour without realising who he was. It's a magical place of books, ideas and people. This time, I'm talking about WEIMAR, fascism, communism and Europe (not all at the same time). Come along!🍀👇

At Dalkey Book Festival, we love celebrating the writers you already know, and the ones you’ll be reading for years to come.

Proud to welcome a brilliant range of Irish debut authors to Dalkey this June. 🇮🇪📚

Four Booker winners are coming to Dalkey this summer.

The more fun question is:
which writer on this year’s lineup will win it next? 👀
