It was a pleasure to talk to EFACIS President Dr Katharina Rennhak about The Fire Starters, Northern Ireland and magic realism as part of this fantastic series of Irish Itinerary Podcasts. Our hour long discussion also includes two short readings from the novel. You can listen to the podcast by clicking the link below.
The Irish Itinerary Podcast is a new fortnightly podcast brought to you by EFACIS, the European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies. As an innovative addition to our longstanding and highly respected Irish Itinerary circuit which organizes live events all across Europe, this series will bring together some of the best contemporary Irish authors and artists in conversation with leading Irish Studies scholars from across Europe. This exciting new project is designed in the spirit of open access and inclusivity, and made possible by the generous support of Culture Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the Irish College, Leuven.
