Laurence Mackin - Irish Times - 5 March, 2013
In something of a star turn for the Dublin Writers Festival, Dan Brown will be marking the publication of his new novel Inferno with an appearance at the National Concert Hall in May.
The author of The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress has variously been described as saving the publishing industry, destroying the Catholic Church, fuelling a boom in tourism to Paris and Rome, and being part of a shadowy cabal of terrible writers bent on destroying our reading standards.
Dan Brown being Plotty McPlotterson
Either way, it’s a heavyweight name on the festival, so cardinals’ hats off to the organisers. The festival takes place from May 20th to 26th, with further details yet to be released.
Former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller, and widely experienced judge of both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, talks about what he is currently reading, what impresses him and what doesn't, along with chat about the international English language book scene, and links to sites of interest to booklovers.
