Dubai Literary Festival Launches, with Protests

A new year, a new round of book festivals! Personal favorites include the Vancouver International Writers Festival, the esteemed Edinburgh Festival of Books, the Paris Salon du Livre and even the unlikely-located LA Times Festival of Books. (Though I have yet to check out the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival...) The new addition this year is the Emirates International Festival of Literature starting next week in Dubai but not without its share of controversy. It looks like censorship has raised its head with several authors (including Canada’s Margaret Atwood) pulling out in protest. Follow the story in The Bookseller and the London Guardian.

I know we have a group of internationally-roving Suite101 writers who continually surprise us with notes from their travels around the world. Anyone planning to attend Dubai? Drop us a note if you do…
