I’m reading alongside Martina Devlin, Wendy Erskine, Caitriona Lally and Paul Murray at the Festival of Italian and Irish Literature in Ireland on Friday 25th September. I’ll be celebrating Il Bravo Figlio / The Good Son from Barta Editions. I’m also teaching at Trinity on Saturday 26th. There’s events on all day Saturday.
