Book lovers, mark this down on the calendar! The Hong Kong International Literary Festival is back this year from November 5 to 15 with the Rebound Edition. It will be 11 days full of book talks, author sharing, and literary events, from wine tasting and walking tours to writing workshop and a day showcasing Asian fiction.
The Festival Weekend, 11-14 November, will be four exciting days when you can choose among 50 concurrent live and hybrid events at Asia Society and The Fringe Club, plus two evenings of Featured Fiction at Tai Kwun.
