Although this is a very Norwegian festival, it is through a strong programme of overseas guests that it has been propelled into the top ranks of literary festivals. This year we have an excellent selection of Indian writers, but also some of the brightest, most talked about young British writers, too.
James Rebanks, Claire-Louise Bennett, Max Porter and Andrew McMillan are all receiving glowing acclaim for their exciting and diverse work. Find them in conversation across the town on our Best of British Trail:
