Icelandic author Jón Kalman Stefánsson is among the prominent figures at the event, where he will be signing copies of his new novel, 'Celestial Bodies at the Edge of the World.'

This year’s festival takes place against the backdrop of ongoing controversies surrounding Grasset publishing, which may influence discussions among attendees.
