Summary

Joining us from home is Irish Writer Naoise Dolan, whose debut novel, Exciting Times caused a seven-way bidding war!

Born in Dublin, Dolan studied English at Trinity College, followed by a master's in Victorian literature at Oxford. Excerpts of Exciting Times have appeared in The Dublin Review and The Stinging Fly, but the book, which follows protagonist Ava and her relationships with Julian and Edith, can now be read and listened to in full - to great effect!

We will be speaking to Naoise Dolan about the ideas behind her first novel, how autism affects her writing, why she chose Hong Kong for Exciting Times and what is coming next.

This episode was recorded over the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic.
