Japanese writer Haruki Murakami heads a stellar line-up at the Auckland Writers Festival in New Zealand the full programme for which has just been released. Among the others attending the festival, which runs from 13-17 May at the Aolea Centre, are multi-award winning Australian writer Tim Winton (Eyrie, Cloudstreet), David Mitchell (The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas), Man Booker prize winner Ben Okri (The Famished Road) and Canada’s Emily Mandel whose Station 11 was shortlisted for the 2014 National Book Awards. It’s an innovative and full programme, well worth checking out.

This festival looks awesome. I’m bummed I can’t attend. On another note: if you’re ever interested in some awesome book reviews and musings, be sure to follow! Thanks!
