NETEC Seminar Series on Intersectional Vulnerabilities was pleased to host the Zoom conversation, "Visions and Revisions of 'Home' in Irish Literature and Society," featuring renowned writers Evelyn Conlon and Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, on Thursday November 7.
Telling Truths: Evelyn Conlon and the Task of Writing (2022) edited by NETEC researcher M. Teresa Caneda-Cabrera, has been reviewed in The IrishTimes on April 15.
In her conversation with M. Teresa Caneda-Cabrera, Evelyn Conlon discusses the impact of the lockdowns and her aversion to ‘doomscrolling’; being a writer who is a feminist and being political by engaging in stories that are not considered the norm; using literature to dip into the corridors of truth while history sticks to the facts; reworking Joyce’s story ‘Two Gallants’; and being more Irish when you are away from Ireland. The author also reads two excerpts from her work.The podcast can be accessed here
