One Hot Lit Fest
New York-based novelist Colin Channer is heating up the literary scene again with his annual Calabash International Literary Festival, which will take place in Jamaica from May 26-28. Actor Delroy Lindo is expected to be one of highlights of the fest, in addition to Marlon James, Sonia Sanchez, Diana Evans, M.G. Vassanji, and dancehall singer Tanya Stephens:
Among the new features of the three-day event, which will be held from May 26 to May 28 in Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth, is an onstage conversation with British author, Geoff Dyer, while on opening night, actor Delroy Lindo, will read from Calabash's anthology 'Iron Balloons: Hit Fiction From Jamaica's Calabash Writer's Workshop.'
"There is nothing like hearing an actor read a story because all the nuances of voice and subtleties of body language come into play. He is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, on the Broadway stage and London's West End, so it is going to be one of those small changes that make a big difference," Mr. Channer said.
