Melbourne is one of Australia’s largest cities, and is at the center of culture on the continent. It attracts some of the best minds in the hemisphere, drawn by its metropolitan appeal and proximity to wilderness and water. One of the more interesting cultural festivals every year is the Melbourne Writers Festival. This is an intensive festival that lasts almost two weeks, featuring author readings and signings, workshops for writers in all aspects of their careers including creative and career development, speeches, and many other spectacular events that make this one of the most well-attended writers festivals in the region.
This year’s event was held in Fed Square, and marks the 24th incarnation of this annual festival, and one that is a massive success for Australia in general and Melbourne in particular. With such a diverse range of authors as Ethan Kanin, Hitomi Hanhara, Stephen King, and Antje Rávic Strubel, there are fascinating events for everyone, just as there are books for everyone. One of the concerns for this year’s Melbourne Writers Festival is the future of the book. Authors and organizers are asking whether or not there is a future for the book as a form that will survive the next generation, with ubiquity of the computer and various forms of digital literature. Events like these serve to raise standards of culture in the world, and keep print alive and kicking.
