Melbourne - City of Literature
August 20, 2008
Great news. We knew the application had been made but it has now been confirmed that Melbourne has been given the nod by UNESCO to become only the second City of Literature in the world.
Edinburgh received this status in 2004 as part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network Program.
It’s wonderful news for the city that had the imagination to develop a Centre for Youth Literature, and it comes just before the start of the Melbourne Writers Festival on Friday.
Jason Steger, from the ABC’s First Tuesday Book Club, tells more in today’s Age.
