Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in Kensington, CA. Happening on Friday, October 11, 2024 at Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley. Doors open at 7:00 PM.

If the accolades for Irish writer Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song are any indication, the novel is no less than required reading for our times.

Part of Litquake’s Words Around the World

Sponsored by the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme, Culture Ireland, and Center for the Art of Translation

If the accolades for Irish writer Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song are any indication, the novel is no less than required reading for our turbulent times. Awarded the 2023 Booker Prize, Lynch’s fifth novel recounts in exacting, all-too-plausible detail the inexorable descent of Ireland’s liberal democracy into authoritarian rule. Booker Prize chair Esi Edugyan called the novel “soul-shattering and true,” and noted that readers “will not soon forget its warnings.” Join us for one of Lynch’s few North American events in honor of the paperback release of Prophet Song; he will be in conversation with Irish writer Ethel Rohan, author most recently of the novel Sing, I. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation

This event will also be live-streamed and videorecorded for those unable to attend in person. Mrs. Dalloway’s Books in Berkeley will have extra signed copies of Prophet Song available for purchase after the event.
