Alert! The programme for the fifth annual Knysna Literary Festival 2014 has been released. The festival will be held from 18 to 23 March and will feature international best-selling Icelandic crime writer Yrsa Sigurðardóttir and a diverse selection of local authors including Jassy Mackenzie (Switch), Stanley Trollip, who is one half of writing duo Michael Stanley (Deadly Harvest), and John van de Ruit (Spud – Exit, Pursued by a Bear).
Highlights to look out for at the festival include investigative journalist Julian Rademeyer’s (Killing for Profit: Exposing the Illegal Rhino Horn Trade) discussion on whether there is hope to be found in Southern Africa’s rhino poaching crisis, a creative writing workshop with Sigurðardóttir, Mackenzie and Trollip, and a discussion with award winning author Karen Jayes (For the Mercy of Water).
Ivo Vegter (Extreme Environment), Max du Preez (A Rumour of Spring) and Vusi Pikoli (My Second Initiation) will be discussing politics; Casey B Dolan (An Appetite for Peas) will be chatting to Mackenzie and Tim Plewman (Fitness for Old Farts) will be sharing his insights into keeping fit after 50.
