SUMMARY:Visit with Irish Author Caoilinn Hughes
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the ICC for a special evening with award-winning Irish author Caoilinn Hughes on Tuesday, April 22. The ICC’s Book Club also chose her latest novel, The Alternatives, as April’s book club selection.\nThis event is free and open to everyone – whether you’re a book club member or simply a fan of great literature! We kindly ask that you register in advance.\nRegister here >\nDoors open at 4:30 pm, with the presentation, including readings and a lively Q&A, running from 5:30–6:30 pm. The Trinity Pub bar will be open, and after the talk, we invite you to stay and enjoy complimentary pizza and salad. Feel free to bring a dessert to share if you’d like. We look forward to welcoming you for an engaging and enjoyable evening!\nAbout the Author\nCaoilinn Hughes’s latest novel is The Alternatives, a New York Times Editor’s Choice. Her second novel, The Wild Laughter won the Royal Society of Literature’s Encore Award and was longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, and her debut Orchid & the Wasp won the Collyer Bristow Prize and was longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award. Her short stories have won the Irish Book Awards’ Story of the Year, The Moth Story Prize, and an O.Henry Prize. She was recently the Oscar Wilde Writer Fellow at Trinity College Dublin and a Cullman Center Fellow at New York Public Library.\nPraise for The Alternatives\n“Exuberant. . . . to categorize this novel into a tidy box undermines the daring genius of its author. . . . Hughes’s prose is like a virtuosic jazz number — loose, free and surprising. . . . A bold, beautiful, complex novel.” —New York Times Book Review\n“The Alternatives contains multitudes. Its mysteries and complexities reward a second reading. . . [its] ending is a stunner. And Olwen, Maeve, Nell and Rhona make it unforgettable.” —Star Tribune\n“Told with biting wit and warmhearted insight, The Alternatives by award-winning Irish author Caoilinn Hughes reflects our collective yearning to make sense of our lives.” —Real Simple\n
