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
