5.30pm – Emerald Noir: the emergence of contemporary Irish crime fiction

White Room QH

Twenty years ago, the Scots surged to the forefront of international crime fiction with few discernible roots. Now it’s the turn of the Irish to take the world by storm. Declan Hughes, Stuart Neville and Alan Glynn are three of the leading proponents of this extraordinary new wave of Hibernian talent. Three things unite them: an unsparing critical eye that sees beyond the surface of social and political life and a willingness to expose uncomfortable truths; vivid and evocative writing; and a genuine talent to entertain. Come along and discover tomorrow’s stars today. Chaired by Laura Wilson.
