Dublin Book Festival 2026

Literature and the Digital Age

 

A day-long series of events examining the fate of the written word and storytelling in the content flood of the modern digital world. As technology allows storytellers to tell their tales in previously inconceivable new ways, will there still be space for the human voice, speaking its story? Guests will include Colin Barrett, Dean Fee, Kit Fryatt, Christodoulos Makris, Bebe Ashley, Rob Doyle, Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan and Paul Whyte

Join us at DCU for a day of performance, readings and passionate discussion. 

Curated by DCU Cultural Arts officer Marcella Bannon and Arts Council Writer in Residence Colin Barrett. Full details at www.dublinbookfestival.com
