The literary world descends on colonial Cartagena this week for the start of the 13th edition of Hay Festival.
The 12th edition of Hay Festival begins this week in Cartagena and with an impressive line-up of authors, graphic artists and political commentators. The festival has launched a free app for the event.
Nobel-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, author Hanif Kureishi, director Stephen Frears and dozens of other literary greats headline Hay Festival Cartagena in 2016.
Tom Hart-Dyke’s lecture at Hay recalled his kidnapping in the Darién in 1999 and how orchids and humor saved his life.
