What The Hell/Heaven Are We Doing - 18. Kevin Barry

The Arts Council Podcast

The Laureate for Irish Fiction, Sebastian Barry, hosts a series of brief conversations with fellow writers asking big questions about the nature of writing itself. Kevin is a multiple award-winning writer whose most recent book, Night Boat to Tangier, was published in 2019. Here, he sits down with Sebastian via video chat to puzzle out some of the deeper questions about the art of writing, including the influence of early family life on one's writing, lyricism in prose, and how and why a writer should have a good self-care routine.
