An Infinitely Full Stop: Mark O’Connell and Chris Morash Discuss John Banville’s Writing

Recorded April 9th, 2025. A discussion between Prof Chris Morash
(English) and Dr Mark O'Connell (Author and Rooney Writer Fellow,
Trinity Long Room Hub) organised by the Library of Trinity College
Dublin. Professor Chris Morash, Trinity’s Seamus Heaney Professor
of Irish Writing, and prize-winning author Dr Mark O’Connell
discuss on the writing of John Banville. This event coincides with
the inclusion of works from Banville’s archive, housed in Trinity,
in the current exhibition in the Old Library Long Room. On display
in the exhibition is the manuscript draft of The Singularities
(2022), which – differing from the published text - concludes with
the line “at the last inscribe a full, and infinitely full, full
stop.” Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub
