18 – 27 February, 2021

During Lockdown books and reading have been a great source of comfort for so many people. The Paisley Book Festival has a fabulous programme lined up with something for everyone on their digital stage.

Radical New Futures: Launch Event 18 February, 7 p.m.

Hannah Lavery, Laura Waddell and Alan Bissett

The  launch  for this year’s festival will provide a taste of what’s in store over the ten days of Paisley Book Festival. Poet, playwright and performer Hannah Lavery, whose recent works The Drift and Lament for Sheku Boyah both call for accountability from a society that remains determined to look the other way. Writer Laura Waddell, whose recent book, Exit, is a wide-ranging exploration of exit signs and what might be on the other side. Finally,  Renfrewshire resident Alan Bissett with his new novella Lazy Suzan.
