We catch up with Elaine Garvey to discuss her wonderful debut novel The Wardrobe Department. Set in the early 2000s and written with a disarming first hand delivery, it is the story of Mairéad, a young Irish theatre professional who's come to London in a bid to pursue a career backstage. Caught between an acute homesickness for the Ireland of her imagination and a gruelling work life, Mairéad is adrift and unable to make a home in either place. When an urgent call to return home comes she is forced both to reckon with her past and choose her present. At its heart The Wardrobe Department is a deft exploration of power and the cost of breaking free. A recognition of damage handed from one generation to the next and a refusal to be silent. An acceptance that resolution is often ill-fitting and unexpected but resolution nonetheless. ‘Elaine Garvey is a tremendous new talent in Irish writing - I'm certain the reader will recognise within half a page that she is the real thing.'Kevin Barry ‘At once familiar and surprising, knotty and tender, tough and beguiling.'

The award-winning author Lisa McInerney wraps up her literary trilogy with "The Rules of Revelation", a darkly comic foray into the world of drug dealers, sex workers, property developers and struggling artists. We discuss societal shifts in Ireland, as a new generation rejects the conservative, religious national identity that has characterised the country in the past, and the platform the arts provide for voices from all sectors of society, with key support from the current government. Lisa also weighs in on the growing popularity of Gaelic as a cornerstone of Ireland's linguistic and cultural heritage.

Conversation with the 2023 Heimbold Chair of Irish Studies, award-winning writer, translator, and editor, Mary O'Donoghue, and award-winning Irish writer and editor, Lisa McInerney, about the craft of writing, translation, editing, and process and where the arts of each intersect and work together, police one another, or pull apart. This event was recorded on 4/19/2023 and was part of the Conversation with the 2023 Irish Studies Heimbold Chair event.
In this interview Mary M. McGlynn, Professor of English at Baruch College, CUNY, discusses her new book Broken Irelands: Literary Form in Post-Crash Irish Fiction (Syracuse University Press, 2022). While the national narrative coming out of Ireland since the 2008 economic crisis has been relentlessly sanguine, fiction has offered a more nuanced perspective from both well-established and emerging authors. In Broken Irelands, McGlynn examines Irish fiction of the post-crash era, addressing the proliferation of writing that downplays realistic and grammatical coherence. Noting that these traits have the effect of diminishing human agency, blurring questions of responsibility, and emphasizing emotion over rationality, McGlynn argues that they reflect and respond to social and economic conditions during the global economic crisis and its aftermath of recession, austerity, and precarity. Rather than focusing on overt discussions of the crash and recession, McGlynn explores how the dominance of an economic worldview, including a pervasive climate of financialized discourse, shapes the way stories are told. In the writing of such authors as Anne Enright, Colum McCann, Mike McCormack, and Lisa McInerney, McGlynn unpacks the ways that formal departures from realism through grammatical asymmetries like unconventional verb tenses, novel syntactic choices, and reliance on sentence fragments align with a cultural moment shaped by feelings of impotence and rhetorics of personal responsibility.

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios is delighted to present a podcast reading by writers, Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Ian Maleney as part of our annual Commissioned Writer programme. Introductions and conversation between the writers hosted by Susan Tomaselli, founder and editor of gorse journal. Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Ian Maleney have been commissioned by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios in an experimental programme that aims to support different kinds of writing about art. For this programme, we commission a writer each year to write short texts on each of our five gallery exhibitions. We ask the writers to reflect on the exhibition, with full liberty to take their own path, responding in fiction, poetry, or otherwise. The writings are published on our website and available in our Gallery. In 2020, Ian Maleney is our Commissioned Writer and in 2019, Annemarie Ní Churrieán was our Commissioned Writer. Ian Maleney and Annemarie Ní Churreáin are two exceptional writers who have emerged as part of a new generation of immensely talented Irish writers. Both have drawn on voices of people from their past and present life to reveal things in our world that can be exciting and unsettling, or both. Ian Maleney’s writings have been praised for their vivid recollection and poetic serenity (Fintan O’Toole) and Lisa McInerney, writing on his debut Minor Monuments (Tramp), describes it as ‘brilliant, pulsing with intellect and insight, with each observation composed so beautifully as to be deeply moving. This is the kind of book that changes its reader.’ Annemarie Ní Churreáin was immediately recognised as a distinctive voice for literature on the publication of her debut collection Bloodroot (2018). Thomas McCarthy (poet) praises her ‘mature sense of the lyric form and a rare sense of lyric completion, rooted in the bloodroot of women’s history’. Danielle Chapman (The Yale Times) speaks of the atmosphere of hiddenness and the possibility for revelation that provide the electricity in her poems. ‘Ní Churreáin’, she writes, ‘slices into the profoundly layered complexity of image with clear lines of powerfully compressed feeling’. At this reading Maleney and Ní Churreáin read from a selection of their texts and poems written in response to the gallery exhibitions, as well as from their published and current writing. The evening will include an introductory conversation with Susan Tomaselli who will discuss the themes in their work, their writing process and how they engaged with the TBG+S Writing Commission. https://www.templebargallery.com/whats-on/events/beyond-silence-listened-for-ian-maleney-and-annemarie-n%C3%AD-churre%C3%A1in-a-reading-and-conversation-with-susan-tomaselli

Leading writers Stuart Maconie, Kit de Waal, Tony Walsh and Lisa McInerney consider what it means to be a working-class writer working in the publishing industry today “It’s the last great unspoken prejudice in British life, and that runs through everywhere – particularly some of the areas of the media I work in, like publishing and broadcasting” Stuart Maconie --- The Common People anthology brought together 16 leading working-class writers with 17 new unpublished working-class writers to create a picture of working-class life in Britain today. As part of the opportunity, the 17 new writers were also offered a 12-month professional development programme to support their entry into the publishing industry, working alongside mentors and England’s seven regional literature development agencies, with Unbound and Arts Council England.

President Higgins, along with the Cuban Minister for Culture Abel Prieto and the author Joseph O'Connor, launched the publication of the Cuban edition of the novel 'Star of the Sea'' by Irish writer Joseph O'Connor. See details at http://www.president.ie/en/diary/details/president-attends-the-launch-of-a-translation-of-star-of-the-sea-by-joseph The novel was launched at the Havana Book Fair, one of the largest Book Fairs in Latin America. According to the Cuban Ministry of Culture, this will be the first Irish novel to be published in Cuba since James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. The launch took place in the iconic Morro Cabaña complex of fortifications which overlooks Havana Bay, where the Book Fair takes place each year. A number of other authors also participated in this year's Fair, including Colm Toibin, Michael McCaughan, Lisa McInerney, Dermot Keogh and Pura Lopez.
Entrevista a la autora irlandesa Lisa McInerney, que con "Los pecados gloriosos" (AdN) logró el premio Baileys 2016 y el Desmond Elliot de ese mismo año a la mejor primera novela. La historia está ambientada en la conocida ciudad irlandesa de Cork donde nos encontramos con varios personajes que se mueven en los bajos fondos: un joven camello de 15 años; su padre, que es un delincuente habitual y alcohólico; una joven prostituta; el capo del hampa local y la madre de este, Maureen, que regresa tras 40 años de exilio y que podríamos decir que los une a todos. Con ellos, McInerney construye una historia coral en la que la crisis económica, el sexo, la religión y el alcohol juegan un papel importante. Vídeo de la entrevista: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDK2DcASGa0 Sinopsis editorial de "Los pecados gloriosos": "Los pecados gloriosos" es un recorrido por los caminos del remordimiento y la vergüenza, así como por el legado de las actitudes irlandesas del siglo pasado en materia sexual y familiar. Un desagradable asesinato incide sobre las vidas de cinco inadaptados que habitan los márgenes de la sociedad irlandesa posterior a la crisis de 2008. Ryan es un traficante de drogas quinceañero desesperado por no acabar como su padre, el alcohólico Tony, cuya obsesión por su desquiciada vecina amenaza con acarrear la ruina de este y de su familia. Georgie es una prostituta cuya disposición a simular una conversión religiosa tiene repercusiones peligrosas, mientras que Maureen, la asesina accidental, regresa a Cork tras cuarenta años de exilio y descubre que Jimmy, el hijo al que se vio obligada a renunciar años atrás, se ha convertido en el gángster más temible de la ciudad. Al tratar de expiar el homicidio y multitud de otros supuestos pecados, Maureen amenaza con destruir lo que tanto le ha costado edificar a su hijo, a la vez que sus actos amenazan con poner en el punto de mira los entresijos y las interrelaciones del hampa irlandesa.

The Glorious Heresies author Lisa McInerney talks to Martin Doyle
So back in the day, when blogging was the thing all the cool kids did, Lisa McInerney set up one called 'The Arse End of Ireland'. Using the moniker of 'Sweary Lady' it was a showcase of her writing talent, both comedic and serious, and it become one of the most popular blogs in Ireland. The plan, however, was to use the power of blogging to become a novelist, and that couldn't have come together better if Hannibal Smith himself had made it. Lisa's first novel, 'The Glorious Heresies', was published earlier this year to widespread acclaim. 'A big, brassy, sexy beast of a book', said Joseph O'Connor in the Irish Times. The reviews have been excellent, which is mostly because it's an excellent book. I hadn't met Lisa since one of the last Irish Blog Awards events, and since then things have obviously gone really well for her. We chat about the blog, how it helped her as a writer, how an email out of the blue helped her find an agent, her writing process, video games and loads more. You can follow @SwearyLady on Twitter and you can buy The Glorious Heresies at your local bookshop.
