Nick Cave
The Death of Bunny Munro is only veritable polymath Cave’s second novel, presumably, the band, the film scores and the film scripts all kind of got in the way a little bit of him getting round to another one until now. Here he reads from it anyway.

Glasgow Poetry Week
A convergence of events that keenly illustrate the live (and for that matter lively) nature of contemporary performance poetry in the city with everything from DiScOmBoBuLaTe’s axis of comedy and poetry to new start ups like the brand new Poetry at the Ivory at the Art School.
Various venues, Glasgow, Fri 2-Fri 9 Oct.

Sister Split
Forward thinking female-facing arts festival Ladyfest shows it has many strings to its bow with this celebrated feminist lit showcase of American female writers led by Michelle Tea.
The Big Red Door, Edinburgh, Fri 25 Sep.

By Leaves We Live
More poetry, this time an all-day special event in the capital, a welcoming melting pot of talks, events, stalls and a chance to share any poetry passions.
Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh, Sat 26 Sep.

Wigtown Book Festival
Christopher Brookmyre, Sue Lawrence and Nick Nairn are among the deft mix of local heroes and international stars that bring their literary magic to Scotland’s national book town.
Various venues, Wigtown, Fri 25 Sep-Sun 4 Oct.
