The festival was greatly boosted by A.A. Gill's Friday night session, which sold out all four levels of the ASB Theatre at the Aotea Centre, but many sessions through the weekend attracted healthy audience numbers.

Footnote:
Congratulations to the organisers of the AWRF 2011 for a great event. The Bookman will do a wrap of the Festival including his annual Bouquets & Brickbats column later today.
The Bookman is off to Sydney on Wednesday for the announcement of the winner of the Man Booker International prize and will be reporting on the blog on that and other Sydney Writers Festival events.

And part of the success is due to you. Those of us who live far away and can't get to the Festival are truly appreciative of the reports you provide us on those events you attend.
So thank you most warmly Bookman Beattie, one day I hope to get there but meantime I get great pleasure from your blogging.
Again, thanks a million for the incredible job you do.
Yes, Mr Beattie. So please stop apologising for a lack of pictures.
