The International Book Festival Budapest – now held for the 29th time – will happen between September 26 and 29 2024, for which you are invited to apply.
The guest of honour author at this year's Book Festival is Jón Kalman Stefánsson, who will receive the Budapest Grand Prize from the Mayor of Budapest. Stefánsson is one of the most significant contemporary figures in Icelandic literature with global literary acclaim, whose novel The Fish Have No Feet received the French Prix du livre étranger for the best foreign-language book of the year in 2022. As country of honour, the literature of the French Republic will be in the focus of the Festival this year.
