    Literary delights at Listowel

    Half a century since its inception, Listowel Writers’ Week continues to draw writers and book-lovers to this beautiful Kerry heritage town on the southwest corner of Ireland, transforming it into the centre of the literary universe. Broadcaster and author, Graham Norton called it “The best literary festival in the world,” and Emma Donoghue, author of Room said “I love the warmth and informality of this wonderful gathering.”
