For the second year running, the George Town Literary Festival is taking place primarily online, with podcasts, videos and events taking the place of in-person events in Penang. We catch up with the festival's director Pauline Fan, to find out what they have in store, and how the lineup explores the theme of 'Mikro-cosmos'. And then in Footnotes, we discuss some feature articles we've enjoyed recently.
