Free Event - Hosted by Stories @ the Duncairn & presented by Féile an Phobail

Award-winning novelist and playwright Paul McVeigh is no stranger to producing anthologies. Following the success of Belfast Stories which he co-edited, McVeigh has delivered once again with The 32, described as an ‘intimate and illuminating collection of memoires and essays that celebrates working-class voices from the island of Ireland’.

A number of contributors from the book will participate in the Scribes event including Kate Burns and Michael Magee, chaired by the book’s editor Paul McVeigh.

Without these working-class voices, without the vital reflection of real lives or role models for working-class readers and writers, literature will be poorer. We will all be poorer.

This event is hosted by Stories@theDuncairn, a volunteer-led, community literary project, in partnership with the Greater New Lodge Community Festival and Féile an Phobail. All welcome!
