‘In order really to write one has to sink deep into the self and become lost there,’ John Banville.
Swimming out into a conversational ocean of literary and legacy, novelist John Banville and poet Victoria Kennefick come together on behalf of the Irish Writers Centre to explore the poetics of prose, passions, and the impossibility of doing anything else other than writing.
This event is supported by the Irish Writers Centre.
