Burning Books asks each guest which books they would save if their house was on fire—a little like Desert Island discs, for books. Interviewed by Books Ireland editor Ruth McKee, guests choose the books which have formed the backdrop to their lives, from childhood memories to important life events to books which influenced their writing, and much more.
In this live edition of the Burning Books podcast, Ruth will be in conversation with special guest Michael Magee. Their conversation will be recorded and released as an episode of the podcast at a later date.
