This is a past event
Internationally renowned author, Claire Keegan, will be reading from and discussing her work.
Claire Keegan is one of the finest prose writers in the world, and arguably Ireland’s best living writer of short stories. She has won many of the most prestigious international awards for short fiction including the Davy Byrne’s Award, the Edge Hill Prize, the William Trevor Prize, the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and the Olive Cook Award. She is the author of the short story collections Antarctica and Walk the Blue Fields as well as the long short story Foster, described by Hilary Mantel as ‘the perfect deployment of both style and emotion’. She is, says David Mitchell, ‘as good as Chekhov’.
This event is being hosted by the WORD Centre for Creative Writing in partnership with RIIS.
Attendance is free and all are welcome.
