The June Art of Reading book club features Laureate for Irish Fiction Colm Tóibín in conversation with writer Belind McKeon about her novel 'Solace' "In her compelling debut novel, Solace,' Anna Fogarty wrote in The Irish Times in 2011, ‘Belinda McKeon succeeds in subtly reconfiguring and updating the archetypal story of a son's quarrel with his father. In her hands, it becomes a profound and exacting conjuration with the pyscho-social shifts taking place in contemporary Ireland.” Learn more about the Art of Reading Book Club and the Laureate for Irish Fiction programme: https://www.artscouncil.ie/Arts-in-Ireland/Literature/Laureate-for-Irish-Fiction/The-Art-of-Reading-Book-Club/

These visiting writers will be introduced by the festival curators, poet Ruth Danon and novelist Belinda McKeon, both of whom live locally.Danon and McKeon will also moderate a special keynote event Saturday afternoon, a conversation with me about books and the Book Show. We welcome Ruth Danon and Belinda McKeon.

In their conversation, Belinda McKeon and Kate Costello-Sullivan situate the rich spareness and reticence in McKeon's fiction in its socio-cultural Irish context. They talk about navigating the balance between continuing literary traditions and creating innovative narratives; about the influence that settling down in the United States has had on McKeon's style; about writing male characters and shifting to focus unapologetically on female characters; about motherhood and writing; and about the psyche and the body in her canon. McKeon also reads from her short story "Privacy" from the collection Being Various.

This week The Book Show returns with writers asking the questions: This week Belinda McKeon presents a programme on Writing in the Age of Trump.

This is not a Valentine's Day episode. But it is inappropriate for workplace listening, inappropriate for children, inappropriate for tender souls—wait, it's exactly right for tender souls. (Isn't all art?) Tony Tulathimutte and Belinda McKeon read from their new novels: on desire, longing, lust, shame, loneliness, family, and, yes, love. And porn.  ~review The Catapult in iTunes~ CatapultPodcast.com // @CatapultPodcast // The Trebuchet

My guest on the show this week is writer Belinda McKeon. Her debut novel 'Solace' (2011), won the Irish Book of the Year award at the Irish book awards, and her second book 'Tender' was published last year. Having read both of them very recently, and really enjoyed them, it was great to chat with Belinda about the books, writing, teaching and more. She lives in New York and teaches creative writing at Rutgers University, so we chat about that; how being online so much has affected her memory; working as a journalist and what she learned from those years; moving from Longford to Dublin at the age of 17 to go to Trinity; a year of insomnia due to anxiety; social awkwardness; her writing processes, and loads more. You'll find links to the books below, and if you want to follow Belinda on Twitter it's @belindamckeon.

Dubliners 100 is a collection of 15 short stories, just like James Joyce's original short story collection, Dubliners, but each one written by a contemporary Irish wirter. They are not re-written stories or modernizations of the original work, but editor Thomas Morris thought of the idea of making 15 "cover versions" like in pop music. Dubliners 100 was released on the 100th anniversary of the publishing of Joyce's Dubliners. While Joyce wrote about the everyday middle-class people of Dublin, the new stories reflect these people 100 years later and speaks to our time. Marie chats with Thomas Morris, the editor of Dubliners 100 about how he got the idea for the book and how the project got started. He talks about how he chose well-known contemporary Irish authors as well as up and coming emerging writers. Thomas discussed how these creative works of fiction have also become commentary and interpretation of the original Joyce. Authors contributing to the stories in Dubliners 100 are: Patrick McCabe, Mary Morrissy, John Boyne, Donal Ryan, Andrew Fox, Evelyn Conlon, Oona Frawley, John Kelly, Belinda McKeon, Michèle Forbes, Paul Murray, Eimear McBride, Elske Rahill, Sam Coll, Peter Murphy, and including an Introduction by Thomas Morris.
