New Online Book Club: Journeys in Words - From Galway to Dublin - starting Tuesday, 8 December

Following on from the highly successful Eilís Dillon Online Book Club, I'm delighted to let you know that I'm working with Galway Public Libraries on another exciting odyssey through words which focuses on two great Irish writers of the 20th c: Maeve Brennan and Liam O'Flaherty. During the 'Journeys in Words' book club we'll be traversing from East to West coast, from 1920s suburban Dublin to the rugged, elemental settings of Inis Mór. Fasten your seatbelt, grab your book, sit back and relax to join us for this journey! We will start by looking at Maeve Brennan's stories in The Springs of Affection (Stinging Fly Press, 2016) this month and continue with O'Flaherty's Irish Portraits: 14 Stories (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2012) after Christmas. Running for one hour, from 7pm - 8pm each session, our dates are: Tuesday, 8 Deecember Tuesday, 15 December, Tuesday, 5 January and Tuesday, 12 January 2021. See the full schedule below. Membership is always free but places are limited and tickets are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
