Read: Book your flight for the George Town Literary Festival (GTLF)!

What if cities could remember — and literature was the witness?

The George Town Literary Festival (GTLF) returns for its 15th edition, exploring “Urban Myths and Memories” in Penang.

This bold, internationally recognised festival champions free expression, world literature, and provocative conversations at the cultural edge.

With 37 writers from 13 countries, GTLF gathers acclaimed voices, poets and performers to examine identity, politics, place and imagination.

We ask Festival Manager Julia Tan what Singapore readers can expect - from standout writers to unmissable panels shaping regional literary discourse.

A journey into storytelling, memory and why festivals still matter - hosted by Michelle Martin.
