Highlights from the Hay festival 2009

Hugh Masekela's concert was the high point. Colm Toibin was excellent (his newish book Brooklyn is brilliant), as was David Simon last night (creator of the Wire) and Michio Kaku (one of the world's leading physicists who told us how the invisibility cloak is nigh upon us, and that teletransportation is only a couple of hundred years away). Slide show here.
