On 27 March, we would like to welcome you for a literary evening with Mary Costello on our city campus.

Mary Costello is an Irish writer of short stories and novels. Born in Galway, she was a teacher before deciding to write full-time. Her collection of short stories, The China Factory, published in 2012, was nominated for the Guardian First Book Award. Her second book and first novel, Academy Street, was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award, the Costa First Novel Prize and the EU Prize for Literature in 2014. The novel went on to win the Irish Novel of the Year Award and the Irish Book of the Year. It has since been translated into several languages. Her second novel The River Capture was published in 2019 and just last year she released the short story collection Barcelona.

Afterwards, you can have your book signed and we would like to invite you to a reception.

This event is part of the EFACIS Irish Itinerary.
