DLR Library Voices Series presents;

Rachel Joyce In Conversation with Nadine O’Regan. Tuesday 14th October at 8 pm 




Meet Rachel Joyce, author of the two million-copy worldwide bestseller, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, discussing the heartrending parallel story, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy.
When Queenie discovers that Harold Fry is walking the length of England to save her, she is shocked. Her note to him had explained she was dying from cancer. How can she wait? A new volunteer at the hospice suggests that Queenie should write again; Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was just the beginning. For anyone who loves Harold and his world, hearing more of Queenie's side of the story will be a mouth-watering prospect.

Joseph O'Neill in conversation with Sínead Gleeson at the Pavilion Theatre, 24th September 2014





Hot on the tails of dlr Mountains to Sea Book Festival we had Joseph O'Neill in conversation with Sínead Gleeson at the Pavilion Theatre, last night. This event kicked off our dlr Library Voices series for Autumn, featuring Rachel Joyce (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), Ian McEwan and Mary Costello.
Joseph O’Neill’s brilliant last novel, 'Netherland' won the Kerry Fiction Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award and established the New York-based Irish writer in the first rank of international novelists. His first novel since then, 'The Dog' is led by a brilliantly entertaining anti-hero. A New York attorney accepts an old college buddy’s job offer in Dubai. Haunted by a failed relationship and hoping for a fresh start, he begins to suspect that he has exchanged one inferno for another. Imprisoned by his own reasoning and by the ethical demands of globalized life, he is fatefully drawn towards the only logical response to our confounding epoch

Tickets are still available for the three events featuring Rachel Joyce, Ian McEwan and Mary Costello at the Pavilion Theatre box office on (01) 231 2929
