John Banville’s Dublin

Capturing the atmosphere, sense of place and key social issues at play in Christine Falls, John Banville vividly evokes Dublin in the 1950s. His memoir Time Pieces offers a more personal map of the city, described as a “vivid evocation of childhood and memory,” spanning Baggotonia to Henrietta Street. The author joins historian Donal Fallon (Three Castles Burning podcast) to discuss his own Dublin, and how the city has shaped his work over the years.

Photography and filming will take place at this event for promotional use by Dublin City Libraries and the One Dublin One Book programme. Photographs may be used as publicity material by Dublin City Libraries and Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, to include social media, print media and digital media and/or in newsletters, programmes, on radio and TV, on websites or for public display.
