Literature
The George Town Literary Festival (GTLF) returns for its seventh edition, promising a stellar line-up of local and international luminaries, and exciting new programmes. Festival-goers can expect thought-provoking panel discussions, a poetry marathon, book launches as well as a free public screening of the acclaimed Penang Hokkien film, You Mean the World to Me. The festival will also be partnering with the Fay Khoo Award, which was set up in tribute to the memory of author, publisher and radio host Fay Khoo, who lost her swift battle to cancer earlier this year.
