Donal Ryan & Kamila Shamsie (2018 Event)

Donal Ryan's novels are a thrilling journey into the psyche of
everyday Irish folk, but From a Low and Quiet Sea departs from
his previous three books by extending its setting beyond rural
Ireland into war-torn Syria. Kamila Shamsie’s highly praised Home
Fire is another transnational novel, a contemporary take on the
Antigone myth, looking at why people become radicalised in the
modern world. In this event, recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh
International Book Festival, the authors discuss their Man Booker
longlisted works.
