Seamus Heaney Home

Patrick Radden Keefe In Conversation

‘Gripping, rigorous, smart . . . breathtaking’ – Jon Ronson

Internationally acclaimed writer Patrick Radden Keefe
returns to the Seamus Heaney HomePlace
following his previous sold-out visit. Keefe is the bestselling author of Say Nothing, his landmark account of
murder and memory during the Troubles — named one of the New York Times’ 20 Best Books of
the 21st Century and later adapted into a major Disney+ series — as well as the
Baillie Gifford Prize-winning Empire of Pain.

A staff writer at The New Yorker
and recipient of both the Orwell Prize for
Political Writing and the National Book
Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, Keefe is celebrated for his
gripping, deeply reported storytelling. In his powerful new book London Falling, he follows a grieving
family’s search for answers after the mysterious death of their teenage son
reveals a hidden life shaped by fantasy, privilege and the dangerous
undercurrents of a gilded city.

Patrick will be in conversation with John Self.

 

A £37 Ticket & Book Bundle includes a hardback copy of London Falling which will be available for you to collect on the night.
