MoLI, in association with New Island Books, is delighted to host the online launch of Nuala O’Connor’s latest novel, Nora. To celebrate the publication, the author will be in conversation with Katherine McSharry, Deputy Director of the National Library of Ireland.
Described by Edna O’Brien as ‘a lively and loving paean to the indomitable Nora Barnacle’, O’Connor’s new novel follows Nora Barnacle from her first meeting with James Joyce, through her years in Dublin and later across Europe. The novel tracks the Joyces as Nora is torn between their intense and unwavering desire for each other, and the constant anxiety of living hand to mouth, often made worse by her husband’s compulsion for company and attention.
MoLI is delighted to partner with the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris, where Nuala wrote part of her novel during a residency.
In Deirdre Sullivan’s second NovelTeens masterclass, she guides us through building a sustainable writing practice, divulging hints and tips that we can use to kickstart a daily routine. She highlights the importance of reading other writers, as well as setting small, achievable goals and sharing your work with your peers.
Today’s theme is Stuff and Nonsense: join writer Sarah Webb to create some funny and whacky stories, word games and poems!
The series kicks off with a bitesize masterclass from Dave Rudden. Author of Knights of the Borrowed Dark series, Dave shows us how to create a compelling main character.
