An Irishman Abroad

This week, award-winning writer Kevin Barry joined Jarlath for a fascinating conversation about writing and the mystery of the creative process.   Kevin speaks about the deal fiction writers make with their subconscious mind, the importance of embracing failure, trusting the gut and reveals the book he regards as his "awkward child".   This chat is full of the classic Irish observations you’d expect from Kevin and few strange revelations such as his early attempts to write after returning home from a heavy night out to his admission that he couldn’t ride a bike until he was 15. This conversation is the perfect antidote to the bleakness we have all gotten used to this past month. Irishman Abroad brings you more light next Friday with Harry Hill joining our online comedy show in aid of frontline workers.
