Clondalkin readers Group hope to invite local authors to “read” with and facilitate them over the next few months.
Colm Keegan local author/ poet joined us in March to discuss “ Alone in Berlin” by Hans Fallada The book is part of a body of work written in the 1930 ‘s 40’s which has been recently republished. The group which is all female were delighted to be given a male perspective and also as a poet Colm drew our attention to the authors “old fashioned” turns of phrase and use of language . The book would have been a departure from the regular choices however it provoked a very lively discussion.
Colm hopes to be with us when we next meet with visiting author Paul Kestell in April to discuss that authors work “Viareggio” and again in May when the group will be reading “Shantaram”, a more contemporary novel by Gregory David Roberts
