In conversation with Rónán Hession at Waterstones Deansgate

Shimmering and haunting in equal measure, this profound fable from the author of Leonard and Hungry Paul and Panenka centres on a mysterious mountain which appears at crucial moments in the protagonists' lives.

It looks at the uncertain fragile sense of self we hold inside ourselves, and our human compulsion to project it into the uncertain world around us, whether we’re ready or not. It is also about the presence of absence, and how it shadows us in our lives. Mountains are at once unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable.

Rónán will be discussing his work and answering audience questions, followed by a signing.
