Benjamin Wood: Seascraper
About this Event
Nero Book Award Fiction Category Winner Benjamin Wood joins us to talk about Seascraper, his haunting and timeless new book.
His fifth novel, its main character, Thomas, lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. When a striking visitor turns up bringing the promise of Hollywood glamour, he is shaken from the drudgery of his days. This is the story of a young man hemmed in by his circumstances, striving to achieve fulfilment far beyond the world he knows.
Benjamin will be in conversation with Dr Danny O’Connor, Colm Tóibín Lecturer in Creative Writing.
