James Joyce remains a huge presence in literature, one hundred years on from Ulysses. His liberation of language and the life of the mind continue to enrich the possibilities of writing, but does he unduly overwhelm the Irish creative landscape? Two of Ireland’s most accomplished writers Anne Enright and Paul Muldoon meet a third, Nuala O’Connor, who reimagined the life of his wife and muse in her novel Nora, named one of the best books of historical fiction by the New York Times and the One Dublin One Book choice for 2022. Nuala is the winner of Short Story of the Year at the 2022 Irish Book Awards. Chaired by Mia Levitin, writer, literary critic and a contributor to The Irish Times. Please note Paul Muldoon appears live on screen.
