Two of Ireland’s most electrifying literary voices come together for an intimate and searching conversation about power, class, motherhood – and the quiet tensions that shape our lives.Wendy Erskine, known for her razor-sharp short stories, has written one of the year’s most talked-about debut novels: The Benefactors – a quietly explosive tale of two women whose lives become entangled across lines of charity, control and care. It’s moving, morally complex, and full of Erskine’s signature emotional precision.
In conversation with Lucy Caldwell – celebrated Irish author of These Days, winner of the BBC National Short Story Award, and editor of the landmark anthology of Irish writers Being Various – this promises to be an unforgettable hour of literary insight, warmth and wit.
A rare chance to hear two masterful writers at the top of their game, discussing the art of contemporary fiction and the stories that shape how we live now.
