The readings, of 15 minutes each will run for 28 hours, all through the night, culminating at 2pm on Bloomsday.

Seamus Heaney will take over at 10am on Saturday morning to read from his Opened Ground: Selected Poems, 1966-1996,and Roddy Doyle with an excerpt from The Van at 1.30pm, while the final slot has been given to Jack Harte’s From Under Gogol’s Nose.
