I'm glad you enjoyed Ms. Keegan's interview -- she really is fascinating. I can't wait for her novel to come out. If you enjoyed this show, try watching our piece on Colm Toibin -- another Irish novelist with an eye on the inner workings of the human heart. And if you'd like to support the live or taped programs that HoCoPoLitSo produces, visit our web site, listed in the program notes.
Those who say her stories are old fashioned might be forgetting that Ireland is still predominantly rural. As Terence Winch says here, the word those people are looking for is ‘timeless’.
+Bill Campbell Thanks for watching. I'm eagerly awaiting her next work! If you enjoyed this show, perhaps an Irish-American novelist might interest you, our show with Alice McDermott, or another Irish novelist, Anne Enright.
As unimpressive as the interviewer is, meeting Claire Keegan a few years ago was worse. Her writing had a huge impact on me, but in person she was cold and aloof.
@michellemaher2010 Some writers are good at writing but not good at publicity. Some even fear it or hate it. Writing is a solitary profession. Some writers are just solitary and quieter by nature. Perhaps Claire Keegan is one of them. And anyone can have a bad day. Speak for myself, I am satisfied and happy just to read her works.
I'm mesmerized by Claire Keegan's prose. Huge writer.
A wonderful novelist. Glad to see this early interview. Thank you.
I just bought 'Small Things Like These' and I plan on reading a lot more. Thank you for this!

I’m reminded of (a young) Hilary Mantel - thoughtful intelligence
Such an interesting author!
Wonderful

@@BSyn-ei4uv It was a book signing, she was impolite. People are entitled to their opinions.

@@michellemaher2010 She seems to be pretty aloof in interviews too!
