The influence of Irish-American ballads in Joseph O’Connor’s recent fiction is the theme of the Dublin author’s current tour of Ireland, which stops off in Glór on March 25th.
O’Connor's new novel, Ghost Light, will be published in June. He will be joined in Ennis by musician, film-maker and broadcaster Philip King for a gig that will feature banter and readings and even some songs.
The upcoming Glór gig will be O’Connor’s second appearance in Ennis this month having appeared as part of the Ennis Book Club Festival line-up last weekend.
