About this event

On 26 November 2023, Paul Lynch became the sixth Irish writer to win the coveted Booker Prize for his stunning novel Prophet Song.

Set in an imagined Ireland that is descending into tyranny, it was described by the Booker judging chair as a “soul-shattering and true” novel that “captures the social and political anxieties of our current moment.”

In a year in which Irish novelists occupied one third of the places on the Booker longlist and shortlist, Lynch’s novel emerged as a worthy winner. Here is an unmissable opportunity to hear Ireland’s latest literary sensation discussing his work.
