Guest Authors In Conversation with Dermot Bolger

I have read novels by 5 of the guest authors who will be in conversation with Dermot Bolger at a series of readings over the next few months.

What a joy to hear treasured authors read and discuss their work. I for one will be getting some tickets.


The Irish Writers’ Centre is delighted to announce an exciting new series of fortnightly readings by leading contemporary authors at the Irish Writers’ Centre, 19 Parnell Square, Dublin 1.

This unique and intimate series of hour-long public readings has been curated by leading novelist and poet Dermot Bolger. In conversation with Bolger, writers will read from and discuss their work in the beautiful surroundings of this Georgian building in Parnell Square in Dublin overlooking The Garden of Remembrance.
