Welcome to the 2011 Sydney Writers' Festival. We live in a world that is ultimately understood only through language. It is the writer who has the power to name, create and shape our world – to give us the words we live by. The 2011 Sydney Writers' Festival proudly presents some of the world's finest poets, novelists and authors of literary nonfiction, including 2010 Man Booker Prize winner Howard Jacobson; Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours and By Nightfall, Michael Cunningham; the acclaimed David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet) and Aminatta Forna (The Memory of Love), as well as internationally renowned Australians Peter Robb, Kim Scott, Markus Zusak, Sonya Hartnett and John Tranter.
