## Events

[edit]

* March – The first full-length original novel in the Manx language, Dunveryssyn yn Tooder-Folley ("The Vampire Murders"), is published by Brian Stowell, after being serialized in the press.[1]
* April 7 – Justice Peter Smith concludes in a case of February 27 in the London High Court of Justice against the publisher Random House over the bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code (2003), that the author, Dan Brown, has not breached the copyright of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh in their The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (1982, non-fiction). The judgment also contains a coded message on the whim of the judge.[2]
* April 7–9 – First Jaipur Literature Festival held in India.[3]
* Summer – Brutalism becomes the first literary movement to be launched through the social networking site Myspace.[4]
* June 14 – Ciaran Creagh's play Last Call, based loosely on the hanging of the murderer Michael Manning in 1954, as witnessed by the playwright's father, is staged in Mountjoy Prison, Dublin, where it is set.[5]
* June–September – Elif Şafak is tried for "insulting Turkishness" in her novel The Bastard of Istanbul, published earlier in the year, but eventually acquitted.
* June 7 – The final portion of the library accumulated by Sir Thomas Phillipps (died 1872) is sold by Christie's in London.[6]
* July 14 – The Times Literary Supplement reports on the discovery of a missing copy of Shelley's Poetical Essay on the Existing State of Things, an 1811 pamphlet containing a 172-line poem critical of war, politics and religion; although published anonymously, the poem is thought to have contributed to the rebel poet's expulsion from the University of Oxford (which acquires the unique copy of the pamphlet in 2015).[7]
* August 1 – The University of Helsinki library becomes the National Library of Finland (Kansalliskirjasto).
* September – Museum of Modern Literature opens in Marbach am Neckar, Schiller's birthplace in Germany.
* September 20 – The Writers Guild of America, West, holds a Los Angeles rally in support of the America's Next Top Model writers' strike. President Patric Verrone says: "Every piece of media with a moving image on a screen or a recorded voice must have a writer, and every writer must have a WGA contract."[8]
* November 6 – WGAw files an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board after Top Model producers say the next season of the show will not require writers. In response, Verrone said, "As they demanded union representation, the company decided they were expendable. This is illegal strikebreaking."[9]
