Join us for the annual John McGahern Book Prize and hear excerpts from the winning entry.
Aingeala Flannery’s novel, The Amusements (Penguin), has been chosen by esteemed novelist Colm Tóibín as the winner of the John McGahern Prize for debut book of Irish fiction published in 2022.
Described as “Unputdownable . . . one of the best novels of the year” by The Sunday independent it is a luminous and unforgettable story about roads taken and not taken - and a brilliantly observed portrait of a small-town community.
At the Liverpool Literary Festival, Aingeala will read from The Amusements and collect her £5,000 prize.
