We are delighted to welcome Aingeala Flannery to Liverpool. Aingeala was recently awarded the Institute's Annual John McGahern Book Prize for her debut novel "The Amusements", from which she will be reading.
"The Amusements" is a collection of interlocking stories charting the fortunes of the seaside town of Tramore through the lives of its residents across 30 years. Flannery portrays her cast of characters, and the social issues they represent, with humour and warmth. Major 20th-century and contemporary Irish writers are subtly evoked and subverted here: from James Joyce and Kate O’Brien to Neil Jordan and Martin McDonagh. An accomplished and well-conceived debut.
