Margaret Atwood in conversation with Paula Shields at Royal Marine Hotel

30 September 2015

Described as ‘the outstanding novelist of our age’, Margaret Atwood returned to Dún Laoghaire to discuss The Heart Goes Last, her first new standalone novel in fifteen years with Irish arts journalist Paula Shields. It is a sinister, wickedly funny tale about a near-future in which the lawful are locked up and the lawless roam free. Listen to this wide-ranging conversation with Canada’s leading poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist and environmental activist.

This podcast was recorded in the Royal Marine Hotel on 30 September 2015.
