Jamaica literary festival draws top-flight authors

Since 2001, the tiny, laid-back beach town in arid southern Jamaica has hosted the Calabash International Literary Festival, attracting Nobel laureates and a slew of other acclaimed writers. From modest beginnings, Calabash has transformed itself as a major international literary event.

Budding writers line up to read their works to a big, appreciative audience. Book-loving islanders and tourists mingle with literary luminaries as the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea.
