Eoin McNamee in conversation with Paula Shields

The Vogue is an unforgettable novel of ghosts, lies and the ways in which the past can return with a vengeance. Late 1944, and two teenagers dance the Vogue in silence on the projectionist’s floor of the Cranfield Aerodrome. Decades later, a ghost returns to the shifting sands. Names have long since been changed; children long since cast out; lies long thought forgotten. Set against an eerie landscape, awash with secrets, The Vogue is a grimly poetic dance through the intertwined stories of a deeply religious community, an abandoned military base, and a long-shuttered children’s Care Home.

Recorded at dlr LexIcon, Dún Laoghaire on Tues 6 November 2018.
