Read about the newest award to be added to the An Post Irish Book Awards
“Non-fiction” covers a multitude of subjects and now that biographies have their own category, this category will cover works of history, politics, business, travel, and cultural affairs. We are grateful to executive search and recruitment agency, Odgers Berntdson. for their continuing sponsorship.
Doireann Ní Ghríofa has sculpted a fluid hybrid of essay and autofiction to explore the ways in which a life can be changed in response to the discovery of another’s – in this case, Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill’s Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, famously referred to by Peter Levi as ‘the greatest poem written in either Ireland or Britain during the eighteenth century.’
A devastating and timeless tale about finding your voice by freeing another’s.
