“Borris is one of the friendliest, most stimulating literary festivals in the world.” – Ian McEwan
“Borris manages to retain all the charm of a smaller gathering where people are here because they fancy it, not because they are selling a book.” – Mariella Frostrup
“I have had the best audiences I have ever talked to, at full capacity, and afterwards signed and sold a gratifying number of my books, to people who knew exactly why they were there and what they were about.” – Roy Foster
