Top picks at this year’s International Literature Festival Dublin – 2. Kathleen MacMahon

It’s Day 2 of International Literature Festival Dublin highlights and today it’s the turn of Kathleen MacMahon who told us what she’s most looking forward to:  

– Jon Ronson in conversation – my new novel The Long Hot Summer (out 21 May) features a politician who finds himself at the centre of a social media storm, so I’ll be fascinated to hear Jon Ronson’s take on politics and social media.

– Dermot Bolger and Christine Dwyer Hickey in conversation – I’m also looking forward to seeing these two authors in action. They’re both authors of books I have absolutely loved. 

– Deirdre Madden, Eoin McNamee & Selina Guinness: Irish Short Stories – I’m a huge fan of Eoin McNamee so I will interested in hearing him talk short stories with Deirdre Madden and Selina Guinness.
