Those attending the 13th edition of the George Town Literary Festival (GTLF) in Penang will be excited at the number of new titles to add to their TBR (to be read) list, as an impressive 19 books are expected to be launched throughout the four-day festival.

Taking place Nov 23 to 26, this year’s GTLF embarks on a literary exploration of uncharted territories through its theme, "Terra Incognita", calling on festival-goers to gaze towards unexplored horizons through its wide range of events and activities, from panel discussions and readings to book launches, exhibitions and screenings.
