Around 200 writers and thinkers, including globally-feted Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen and bestselling author Liane Moriarty, will appear at the Auckland Writers Festival, from August 23 to 28.
Now in its 23rd year, the festival promises a mix of authors across fiction, non-fiction and poetry, as well as public performances and theatre. In total, there will be more than 160 public events (both free and ticketed) this year.
British philosopher A.C Grayling and Oscar-winning director Jane Campion will appear in person, while Nobel Prize winner Abdulrazak Gurnah, essayist Rebecca Solnit and Golden Globe winning actor and novelist David Duchovny will join the festival via the wonders of livestreaming.
The programme includes scientists, comedians, artists and public intellectuals.
