Listen back to Dublin: One City, One Book 2018, when we celebrated The Long Gaze Back, and the female voice in Irish literature. This anthology of 30 short stories is edited by Sinead Gleeson.
In the first of a two part episode, "Selected Shorts", we hear actors Rose Henderson, Susie Lamb, Katie O'Kelly and Geraldine Plunkett perform readings from The Long Gaze Back – stories by Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, Lia Mills, Christine Dwyer Hickey and Anne Devlin. The second part will feature a discussion with the authors, chaired by Catherine Dunne.
Sit back and enjoy the following stories from The Long Gaze Back:
Eilis Ní Dhuibhne’s ‘The Coast of Wales’ read by Rose Henderson
