When literary superstars Anne Enright and David Nicholls entered the packed conference room in Bantry's Westlodge Hotel on Saturday night, the audience did not stamp their feet or whoop with excitement. Instead, they showed their appreciation through rapt silence interspersed with gentle laughter and applause. It was the contained reaction you'd expect from people who are serious about books.
