Echoes 2019 Celebrating Community in Contemporary Writing in Ireland

​

Maeve Binchy believed that shared experiences created and fostered communities.

Echoes 2019 explores the concept of community in contemporary writing in Ireland. Featuring an exciting and diverse line-up of writers, festival topics include our collective identity as an island nation, how real life is reflected in modern fiction, and the adventures of Irish writers abroad!
