the End of the world is a cul de sac (Tertulia Event JUly 2021)
Wednesday, 7th July, 7.30 p.m.
‘From the minute I started to write, I didn’t care if the house fell down around me.’ Louise Kennedy’s admission in her recent Irish Times interview. (Sat April 3rd, 2021)
The chef turned writer’s debut collection of short stories has been causing quite a stir, even rumours of bidding wars over the manuscript.
The End of the World is a Cul de Sac was finally secured by Bloomsbury and has been published in April of this year to great reviews.
Kennedy grew up in Hollywood in County Down and was always, consciously or otherwise, in the presence of division. That idea comes through in her stories, the them and us, the other and belonging.
Her short stories have won prizes and been widely published. In both 2019 and 2020 she was short-listed for the Sunday Times Audible Award, the world’s richest prize for a single short story, and the An Post Irish Short Story of the Year.
She has written for the Guardian, Irish Times, BBC Radio4 and RTE Radio 1.
We are delighted to get to meet her here at Tertulia and find out more about her work and her journey into writing.
