Mountains to Sea Festival 2009

10th - 13th September

The Mountains to Sea dlr Book Festival aspires to honour one of the world’s most unique literary landscapes with a festival worthy of that distinction. Mountains to Sea will feature a glittering array of writers both local and international including Paul Auster, Sebastian Faulks, Sadie Jones, Declan Kiberd, John Carey, Douglas Kennedy, Siri Hustvedt, Patrick Gale, Anne Enright, Hugo Hamilton, Diarmaid Ferriter, Julie Parsons, Ross O’Carroll Kelly and Maeve Binchy. Special theatre productions will celebrate the area’s close association with Samuel Beckett, James Joyce and Flann O’Brien. Author readings, theatre productions, political cabaret, grand literary tour, panel discussions, children’s events will entertain, challenge and inspire.
There is no other area more densely populated with contemporary writers than Dun Laoghaire & Rathdown. No other area can boast such rich associations with the great Irish writers of the past, with their memories and their works than DLR.

Come join us at the festival to find out more! Just a 20 minute DART ride from the city centre. Or, in the immortal words of Bagatelle, “Jump on a bus to Dun Laoghaire.” We look forward to seeing you.
