Booker Prize-winning novelist Anne Enright will give a lecture at UCC as part of her role as Ireland’s inaugural fiction laureate.  The lecture entitled Giving Voice: Antigone and the Dishonoured Dead will take place at the Aula Maxima on November 19 at 6pm.

Enright is the author of six novels, including the 2007 Booker-Prize winning The Gathering, The Forgotten Waltz and The Green Road, as well as three volumes of short stories.  She was appointed Fiction Laureate by the Arts Council earlier this year to promote Irish literature nationally and internationally.

Admission to the lecture is free and all are welcome. No booking is necessary but patrons are advised to come early to secure a place.
