Simon Singh and Carlos Fuentes

Simon Singh and Carlos Fuentes

The great Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes launches Hay Festival Zacatecas with a rare interview. The Libel Reform hero Simon Singh speaks about Alternative Medicine and his celebrated case.

The Hitch is back to launch his controversial and sparkling memoir Hitch 22. We have ten copies of Letters to a Young Contrarian for the first ten people to correctly identify who The Man is talking to in this audio clip. Answers on an email to angharad@hayfestival.com, and please include your postal address.

We’re launching sessions for unpublished writers to read their work to an audience on Sunday 30 May and Saturday 5 June.

These are this year’s breakthrough comedy stars. Please come. They’re hilarious.
