Join us to raise a glass and to put your questions to the winner at this very special one-off event!
Times & Dates
ILFDublin 2022 welcomes the winner (or winners) of the Dublin Literary Award to the festival, for an in-depth conversation about their novel, and the chance to take questions from an eager audience.
The 2022 Award winner will be chosen from a diverse and international shortlist.
Will it be Remote Sympathy by Catherine Chidgey, a harrowing yet ultimately hopeful new chapter of Holocaust literature; David Diop’s At Night All Blood is Black, translated by Anna Moschovakis, an intense and mesmerising story about the horrors of conflict, from the perspective of a young West African conscript in the Great War; The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi, a tale of family, identity, and transcendence set in contemporary Nigeria; Danielle McLaughlin’s The Art of Falling, where one woman’s attempt to come to terms with a personal betrayal becomes a meditation on the capacity for art to heal the human soul; Noopiming: The Cure for White Ladies by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a poetic hymn to the culture of Anishinaabeg people and the fragility of the natural world; Alice Zeniter’s The Art of Losing, translated by Frank Wynne, an intergenerational tale of family and displacement, set in 1950s Algeria and contemporary France.
