October 1st – 5th
Bali’s wordsmiths are once again preparing to flock to the island’s cultural heartland for the beloved Ubud Writers & Readers Festival. From October 1st – October 5th, the annual literary event will entice over 150 writers from more than 25 countries to celebrate global issues, big ideas and extraordinary stories. This year’s theme, Saraswati: Wisdom & Knowledge, is an exploration of the wisdom to be gained by creative expression. Leading the lineup is Sir VS Naipaul – Booker Prize-winner and Nobel Laureate – offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet this literary legend.
