About
Paul Lynch describes his 2023 Booker Prize-winning Prophet Song as an 'attempt at radical empathy'. A deeply human portrait of one woman's fight to hold her family together, the novel imagines a chilling totalitarian-state future for Ireland which echoes the present situation of so many across the world.
Join us to hear Lynch discuss his devastating vision of a country at war, the dangers of complacency and the power of fiction to illuminate the possible.
Among other prizes, Paul has won the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year and France's Prix Libr'à Nous for Best Foreign Novel. He has been shortlisted for many international awards, including Italy's Strega European Prize, France's Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger, Prix Littérature-Monde and the Jean Monnet Prize for European Literature. In 2024 he was appointed Distinguished Writing Fellow at Maynooth University and was elected to Aosdána, the Irish academy for the arts honouring distinguished artists
