GIRLS' NIGHT OUT
MAKE UP A GROUP FOR A GREAT TIME!
 The irrepressible, glam chick-lit queen, Kathy Lette will have you and your
girlfriends in stiches at her Tastings and Tiaras double bill on Saturday
12 May.
Start the evening at 6.30pm with a tasting of three Cable Bay Vineyards
wines with winemakers Neill Culley and Mel McIntyre, each matched with a
canapé and then move into the ASB Theatre for a session with Kathy,
chaired by Nicky Pellegrino.
Kathy will talk about her latest book The
Boy Who Fell To Earth, her writing life and loves, the joys
for an ex-pat Australian diva living in London and the very real
challenges remaining for women in a 21st century landscape.

COVER
THE FESTIVAL
AL heart AWRF! The Auckland Libraries
blog Books in the City will once again
be posting its special mix of reverent and irreverent festival commentary
by bibliophiliac, culture vulture, fashionista, AWRF-loving librarians.
SPEAKING OF BLOGS...
THE FESTIVAL FRONTLINE
The latest instalment of our blog The
Festival Frontline, penned by Artistic Director Anne O'Brien, is
avaliable on our website for your reading pleasure.
One of the great things about a literature festival is the chance to hear
writers whom you have grown to love, alongside writers you are about to
discover and whom will become your future book companions over many
years.
With less than four weeks to go until kick-off, we thought this would be
a great time to introduce you to some of the great novelists that
underpin this year’s event, including Jeffrey Eugenides, Roddy Doyle and
Sebastian Barry.
