‘Deep Pools of Nostalgia’

Book Tickets Here

Peter Sirr’s Intimate City considers the city as a layered place, a physical space reverberating with the presence of history, ideas, and the people who walked there. In Belinda McKeon’s For Keeps our protagonist returns from abroad, navigating a city full of memories as she reconnects with an old flame. Join the authors and neuroscientist Shane O’Mara in conversation with Garrett Fagan as they consider how the faces and places of a city interact with our memory.

Dublin by Night

Book Tickets Here

The sun goes down but the city never sleeps. Authors Sarah Gilmartin, Roisin Kiberd, Thomas Morris will be in conversation with writer and editor James Hudson to discuss how their writing captures Dublin by night in its many guises; from the pressurised world of high-end hospitality and the raucous pub scene, to the spaces people frequent by night to escape the anxieties of daytime. In all their writing, characters feel the need to conform, to belong and to find connection, even as they find themselves disconnected and disillusioned.
