COMEDIAN Janey Godley, singer Karine Polwart and partners in crime writing Chris Brookmyre and Dr Marisa Haetzman are among those joining 2020 Booker winner Douglas Stuart at Paisley Book Festival next month. This year’s event will be a digital forum but it means audiences will be able to listen in the comfort of their own homes to contributors from across the world. The theme, Radical New Futures, emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic and the resilience and fortitude that people and communities have shown. It has also been inspired by the importance that green spaces have played as solace and recuperation over the last year.
