HKILF 2023

The HKILF 2023 brought inspiration with a host of over 70 literary events, from talks and performances to walks and workshops. People were able to experience the vibrant post-pandemic literary scene in Hong Kong as we brought together authors, readers and thinkers for a diverse and inclusive festival. It gave everyone the opportunity to see their favourite authors in the flesh, discover new ones, and engage in thought-provoking, lively and inspiring dialogue. This year’s headline writers included the author of Sea of Tranquility Emily St. John Mandel and 2022 Booker Prize winner Shehan Karunatilaka.
