SUMMARY:Kevin Barry
DESCRIPTION:‘A true wonder’ – Max Porter \nTom Rourke\, poet\, doper\, drinker is struggling to make a life for himself amongst the Irish migrant workers seeking to make their fortunes in Butte\, Montana. Then Polly Gillespie\, wife of a mine captain\, walks into his life. Sparks fly\, the lovers flee West\, but will they reach the sunset before they’re caught? Kevin Barry’s latest novel The Heart in Winter is a rollicking\, thrilling and hilarious ride\, described by Anne Enright as ‘An absolute belter of a book’ and Jon McGregor as ‘A glorious and haunted yarn. Marvellous.’ Join us to find out what inspired Kevin to write about the American Midwest in the 1890s. \nKevin Barry is the author of four novels and three short story collections. His awards include the Goldsmiths Prize\, the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award and the Lannan Foundation Literary Award. His previous novel Night Boat to Tangier was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The Heart in Winter was named The Sunday Times Historical Novel of the Year and chosen as a book of the year in numerous publications including The Guardian\, The New Statesman\, The Irish Times and the TLS. \nPresented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester.
