Manage episode 430172223 series 2816219
Hi there!
In this week's episode, Irish author Alan Murrin tells us about his childhood as an "author," his teen life ensconced in rigorous piano practice, and mastering the art of creative writing at the University of East Anglia. Learn how his varied career in the art world and as a bookseller in London shaped his unique voice, making his debut novel, The Coast Road, a complex story of women dealing with life in 1995 Ireland.
Alan takes us behind the scenes of the intense five-way publishing bidding war in London over The Coast Road and his journey from finished manuscript to published book.
Explore the societal undercurrents of 1990s Ireland through Alan's eyes as he reflects on the pressures women faced during the 1995 divorce referendum. Hear how Alan's upbringing, with a father involved in fishing politics and a mother running a bed and breakfast, infuses his storytelling with authenticity and emotional resonance.
I love The Coast Road and I hope you do too :)
Enjoy!
