Sir, I would like to endorse Greg Delaney's observations regarding Irish Writers at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The articulation of the Diaspora is increasingly less obscure, yet the paltry, representation of Irish writers abroad on the Frankfurt programme surely dilutes the project and diminishes the "messages" at this remarkable showcase of international publishing.
I am producing an Irish writer's panel for this year's San Francisco Book Fair (November 2nd and 3rd) on the very theme of Irish Writers Abroad. The participants include Colum McCann, Colm Toibin, Sarah Berkeley, Emer Martin and Eamonn Wall, among others. Yours, etc., Anna Livia Books, 51 Crescent Avenue, San Francisco, CA. 94110, US.
