In 2014, UNESCO's World Book Capital is Port Harcourt, Nigeria--the first city in Africa to receive the designation by public bid.
This makes it a special year for the Port Harcourt Book Festival, which will be in its seventh year, and bigger than ever. They are joining forces with the internationally renowned Hay Festival, which will bring to Port Harcourt its 39 Project--a competition to identify the thirty-nine most promising young talents under the age of forty in sub-Saharan Africa and the diaspora. It follows the success of BogotΓ‘ 39 in 2007 and Beirut 39 in 2010. Both recognized a number of authors who now have international profiles: in BogotΓ‘, Adriana Lisboa, Alejandro Zambra, Juan Gabriel VΓ‘squez, Daniel AlarcΓ³n, and Junot DΓaz; in Beirut, Randa Jarrar, Joumana Haddad, Abdellah Taia, Samar Yazbek, and Faiza Guene.
