Mary Costello & Elaine Garvey: Push and Pull

The disquiet of modern life, a feeling of the past living alongside the present, the push and pull of rural places calling you home - each are overlapping preoccupations of award-winning author Mary Costello's new story collection, Barcelona, and Elaine Garvey's The Wardrobe Department (picked as best debut of the year by the Financial Times). In this mesmerising event, hear the authors of these haunting new Irish works in conversation today.
