#Margó Literary Festival and Book Fair
Once again, book lovers and literary aficionados can rendezvous at the Millenáris. Eszter Babarczy, Lajos Jánossy, Tamás Jónás, Lajos Parti Nagy, Dániel Varró and former Margó Prize winner Anita Harag will present their new books at the autumnal Margó Festival.
More foreign guests will come than ever before, from France to Iceland and Brazil, including Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Andrés Neuman, Andrei Dósa, Vesna Lemaić, Sigríđur Hagalín Björnsdóttir, Luiz Schwarcz and Lars Svisdal.
Some of the special events will push the boundaries of music and literature, featuring Slow Village’s exploration of the relationship between rap and poetry, and the joint production of János Lackfi, Anna Szabó T. and Quimby’s Szilárd Balanyi.
This programme of the Liszt Fest is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with Kultúrkombinát Kft.
