There is such a wealth of writing talent in and from Cork and we are delighted to bring a selection of these authors to you. Our events with Graham Norton, Eoghan Daltun, Arnold Thomas Fanning, Thomas McCarthy and David and Adam King are sold out but we still have a brilliant selection of events featuring authors who are from Cork or have chosen to make Cork their home.
