This programme features Catherine Kirwan on campus. Catherine studied Law at UCC and is a practicing solicitor. Her debut crime novel, Darkest Truth, was published in 2019. Here she reads inside An Bothán, a replica of a mud cabin which stood near the clock tower of the main quadrangle in UCC from May 2018 until May 2020. This type of dwelling was categorised in the census of 1841 as 'a single room cabin built of organic material' and reflected the horrible and all too common living conditions in which Irish people lived, suffered, and died during the Famine.
The guest author at Fiction at the Friary is Anne Griffin, whose debut novel, When All Is Said, was a number 1 Irish bestseller and won the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Award at An Post Irish Book Awards 2019. Anne also won the John McGahern Award for Literature. When All Is Said has been published in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and will publish in sixteen foreign languages.
The Open Mic readers are Noelle Kelly-Trindles and Brian Keane.
