Irish Debut Novelists | Roisín O’Donnell, Garrett Carr & Louise Hegarty
Sat 26 Apr 2025 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Ireland has always produced powerful and inventive writers – from reinventors of the form such as James Joyce to barrier-breaking Edna O’Brien and lyrical geniuses Sebastian Barry and Colm Toibin. In recent years, a new generation of novelists has come to the fore – Sally Rooney, Paul Murray and Colin Barrett among them. We’re delighted to play host to three of the brightest debuts of the year from the island of Ireland.
