Dublin Book Festival are delighted to announce that we have joined forces with the incredible team at Belfast Book Festival to bring you a discussion on Magical Realism in Modern Literature. 

Chaired by Peter Murphy, join writers Jan Carson, Deirdre Sullivan and Cathy Sweeney as they explore the use of magical realism in modern literature and its inspiration on their own writing. This free online event is part of an admirable online programme developed by the team at Belfast Book Festival.
