Rio de Janeiro International Book Fair – until the 23rd of September

September 15, 2007 · Leave a Comment

The Rio International Book Fair is now on.

Since my earlier post about the fair, the full programme is now available on the English version of the fair’s website, here.

This year’s fair pays special tribute to Gabriel García Marquez and Ariano Suassuna, both of whom were born in 1927 (did anyone watch the excellent film Auto da Compadecida, on Globo last Saturday? It’s the film version of Suassuna’s 1959 stage play of the same name).

Check out the official blog of the event (in Portuguese).
