Mary Costello & Han Kang (2015 Event)

'Heartbreaking' and 'packed with emotional intensity' say the
reviewers about Mary Costello's stunning debut novel Academy
Street, while Han Kang's Man Booker International Prize-winning
The Vegetarian is lauded by critics as 'haunting', 'seductive'
and 'graceful and vivid'. Both Costello (from Ireland) and Han
(from South Korea) have already won major awards in their home
countries with these unforgettable novels. We were proud to
welcome them both to the Festival in 2015 to take part in this
event, chaired by the Dundee Literary Festival's Peggy Hughes
