Limerick is a city invigorated by literature. This is a city of stories and story-tellers. Like all good stories, it is a city in the midst of great change and the wonderful Limerick Literary Festival has helped propel that change into an international arena.
—Colum McCann, Author—
I want to thank you for the huge treat it was to be at the Festival, so buzzing with life, conversation, hospitality and above all the treat of having such terrific readers in the audience. I have never before experienced listeners so quick to understand a book. I felt amongst kindred spirits.
— Lyndall Gordon, Writer/Biographer—
The Limerick Literary Festival was such a rich, yet also wonderfully intimate, weekend. I participated in a busy event which provided me with a unique opportunity to challenge readers, and I was thoroughly honoured to receive the Kate O'Brien Award - such an important, encouraging accolade for a writer at the outset of her career.
