The West Cork Literary Festival kicks off next week! Im a complete West Cork newbie so am overly excited, re-reading Kevin Barry obsessively and have even bought a new wardrobe!( couldn’t find any Kevin Barry t-shirts…)
The Frank O Connor short story prize will be announced during the festival and Beer Trip to Llandudno( Kevin Barry’s short story that won the Times short story prize) has been short listed along with 5 others. Here’s a brilliant post that remains quite attracted to a certain writer that lives in a diehard Garda station in Sligo-pay attention at the back)
