"She finds herself in London working in a theatre having to touch people!"   Elaine Garvey, to discuss her novel, THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT, published by Canongate Books. It's 2002. Mairéad Sweeney has moved from rural Ireland to work in London's West End. While the prestige of working in theatre doesn't exactly wear off, the long hours and spoiled actors make Mairéad's transition from Ireland more difficult than it should be. Things get even more difficult when Mairéad has to return home for her grandmother's funeral. It's here she begins to reconcile with the life, people and values she left behind. This is Elaine's first book. She has been published in the Dublin Review and the Winter Papers, and has been awarded funding schemes by the Irish Department of Arts for her writing. ***** Tickets to Katharina Volckmer in conversation! https://www.seetickets.com/event/katharina-volckmer-in-conversation/hyde-park-book-club/3381984 ***** You can buy THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT from the Rippling Pages bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Buying from this link supports the podcast (I receive a 10% commission) and indie bookshops!

Life Sentences (Godine, 2022) tells three interconnected stories about a family in his home country of Ireland. In lyrical, moving prose, with characters that reach across the years, Billy O'Callaghan describes births, deaths, war, and the life of his family. The book begins in the 1920's with Jeremiah, who survived as a soldier in the Great War. He's drunk and jailed on the night before his sister's funeral to prevent him from killing his sister's husband. “Life had its struggles,” he says as he muses about his family and experiences, “but we bore them in the way that our kind always do.” The second part goes back to the 1880's, and Jer's mother, Nancy, recounts being the only member of her family to survive the Great Potato Famine. Starving, she left her tiny island home to find work on the mainland and was wooed by Michael Egan, the man who fathered her two children and haunted her for years. The third section is in the voice of Nellie, Jer's youngest daughter, who is nearing the end of her life. This is a beautifully written novel about family, home, poverty, loss, and the struggle to live in a difficult world. Billy O'Callaghan, from Cork, Ireland, is the author of four short story collections (In Exile, In Too Deep, The Things We Lose, The Things We Leave Behind, and The Boatman) and the novels The Dead House and My Coney Island Baby. His work has been translated into a dozen languages and earned him numerous honours, including four Bursary Awards for Literature from the Arts Council of Ireland and, in 2013, a Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Award for the Short Story of the Year, as well as shortlistings for the COSTA Award and the Royal Society of Literature's Encore Award. His short stories have appeared in such literary journals and magazines around the world as: Agni, the Chattahoochee Review, the Kenyon Review, London Magazine, Los Angeles Review, Narrative Magazine, Ploughshares, the Saturday Evening Post and Winter Papers. A new novel, The Paper Man, will be published in the UK and Ireland by Jonathan Cape in 2023. When Billy isn't reading or writing, he's a big fan of Liverpool Football Club (called soccer in the U.S.). G. P. Gottleib interviews authors of beautifully written literary fiction and mysteries, and tries to focus on independently published novels, especially by women and others whose voices deserve more attention.

In episode 5 of Shelfmarks Zoë explores the myth of Cessair and Fintan mac Bochra from the Leabhar Gabhála (The Book of Invasions / The Book of the Taking of Ireland). In the myth Cessair is the grand-daughter of Noah and daughter of Bith. Bith is refused passage on The Ark and so Cessair builds three ships to seek out a new land. Each ship is crewed by fifty women. During the seven year journey two of the ships sink but the third containing Cessair, fifty women, her husband Fintan, her father Bith and her brother Ladra arrive in Ireland. She takes the first step on Irish soil. Zoë explores this myth, the taking of Ireland and how becoming at one with the natural world becomes essential to survival. As part of this podcast writer Siobhán Mannion writes a fictional account of this first step and what Ireland might have looked like to Cessair and her crew. Zoë also takes a walk across Dublin city with Siobán to discuss her relationship with nature, walking, writing and routine. Siobhán Mannion's stories and essays have appeared in Irish and international publications including Granta, Winter Papers, Banshee, Eighteen Bridges, Stand, The Moth, The Long Gaze Back: An Anthology of Irish Women Writers and Galway Stories: 2020. She has written plays and non-fiction pieces for radio, and her work has appeared in translation. Her honours include an Arts Council Literature Bursary, a MacDowell fellowship, two Hennessy Awards, and two New York Festivals Radio Awards. She lives in Dublin, where she worked for many years as a radio producer in RTÉ and is now completing a collection of stories. 'The Book of Invasions' (‘Leabhar Gabhála') is not the name of a specific manuscript. Rather it is an origin legend of the Irish people that exists in many variant versions, in poetry and prose. The origins of the tradition can be traced to the seventh century, although the earliest surviving manuscripts are much later. The story was extensively reworked in verse form in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Over time, prose versions were derived from the poetry, and additional historical material was added. It was revised again in the seventeenth century by the team of historians known as the Four Masters. It continued to be accepted as a plausible story of the settlement of people on the island of Ireland long after that.' Find out more at https://www.ria.ie/leabhar-gabhala-book-invasions

In this first episode of Shelfmarks Zoë Comyns looks at an expedition to Rockall off the north-east coast of Donegal funded by the Royal Irish Academy in 1896. The island is extremely remote and poor weather conditions meant it was impossible to land on Rockall. The crew of geologists, naturalists and biologists did collect dredge samples and bird specimens. This programme evokes his journey and the sense of discovery. One of those on board was RIA member R.M. Barrington, whose interest in birds led to him to publish The Migration of Birds as Observed at Irish Lighthouses and Lightships (1900). Barrington asked lighthouse keepers all around the country to record information on all birds that died by striking the light stations. He asked that they: “cut off and label the wing and leg of every common bird which is killed at their station…All species can then be identified with certainty.' He also requested that ‘Rare birds should be sent entire”. He gathered more than 2000 specimens, legs and wings and whole birds arrive by post every week, from all over Ireland to his home in Wicklow allowing him to identify patterns and compile his book. Zoe's guest on Shelfmarks is Kerri ní Dochartaigh, author of Thin Places. Kerri brings Zoë to Baltray beach in Co. Louth where they discuss Kerri's relationship with the natural world and she reads new pieces specially commissioned for the Shelfmarks. Kerri chats about how being prompted by the notion of discovery and expedition she observes her baby son taking in the world for the first time. She also writes about a dream that she often returns to in which she is observing a bird in a forest and has to choose between experiencing this moment and rushing home to document it. Kerri has been writing for a number of years and she explores in her final piece one of her very first pieces of writing about a bird strike. Barrington's studies resonant with her as she has come across numerous dead birds during her walks. Kerri ní Dochartaigh is the author of Thin Places which was highly commended by the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2021. She has written for the Guardian, the Irish Times, the BBC, Winter Papers, and others. She lives in an old railway cottage in the heart of Ireland with her family.
