James Kelman In Conversation

10 December 2016, 14:00, Seamus Heaney HomePlace, 45 Main Street, Bellaghy

Runs to 10 December 2016

'Wintering Out' by Seamus Heaney is a collection fascinated by language: the language of place and landscape, of elsewhere and home, of plants and animals, of English and Irish and the connections between them.

One of the foremost contemporary novelists who shares Heaney’s preoccupation with language is the great Scottish writer James Kelman. In works such as the Booker Prize-winning How Late It Was, How Late, Kelman celebrates the vernacular of his native Glasgow in all its earthy richness, while exploring the bond between fathers and sons (also a key theme in Heaney’s work). Join us as Kelman reads from his work, including his acclaimed new novel Dirt Road (another tale of father and son), and talks about the importance of language in his work.
