Iconic Irish author and BBC Radio 4 journalist come to Clare for a night of storytelling

For one night and one night only, Alex Clark, a well-known and admired journalist, will be joined by none other than legendary author Claire Keegan for a rare and intimate evening in Clare. 

Taking place in St Caimin's Church of Ireland, located in Mountshannon, the event promises to be an incredible night of vivid storytelling and thought-provoking discussions, all taking place against a stunning backdrop of the historic church. 

Originally from Wicklow, Claire Keegan is fast-becoming one of the most well-known authors in the world. Releasing just six books in the last two decades, one of them, a novella by the name of 'Small Things Like These' was recently adapted into a film starring Oscar winner Cillian Murphy. The work also currently features on the Leaving Certificate syllabus and prior to this, the author's 2007 novella 'Foster' also featured on the Leaving Cert English paper. 

Keegan's stories have been translated into over 30 languages and her works have been honoured with multiple awards, such as the Rooney Prize, the Davy Byrnes Award and the Orwell Prize for political fiction.
