Devotions, Rituals and Sketches: Lucy Caldwell, Molly Hennigan and Danielle McLaughlin

In Conversation with Dr Paul Delaney

Award-winning writers Lucy Caldwell, Danielle McLaughlin,
and Molly Hennigan come together for a special evening celebrating the richness
and range of contemporary Irish women’s writing. In this lively conversation,
the three authors will discuss their newest books, their creative processes,
and the ideas and experiences that shape their work. From fiction that probes
memory and identity to stories that illuminate the complexities of modern life,
each writer brings a distinctive voice to the evolving landscape of Irish
literature.

Lucy Caldwell is an acclaimed novelist,
playwright and short story writer whose most recent collection Devotions
has just been published. Danielle McLaughlin is an award-winning short story
writer and novelist, widely praised for her precise, insightful portraits of
human relationships and contemporary Irish life. Molly Hennigan is an emerging
voice in Irish fiction whose work blends sharp observation with dark humour, and she has recently edited

Maeve Brennan.

Together, these three writers represent the depth, diversity
and vitality of Irish women’s writing today.
