Fearful Love: Kirsty Logan & Sean Hewitt
Bringing together
two of Scotland and Ireland’s foremost writing talents, whose latest books
take an alternative look at romance and ask questions about what love really
looks like and how it impacts our lives. Glasgow-based writer Kirsty Logan,
known for witchy tales and rewritings of myths in novels such as The
Gracekeepers, The Gloaming, and Now She is Witch, introduces her latest
short-story collection, No & Other Love Stories, which takes a
characteristically dark and engrossing perspective on the complexities and
cruelties of love and desire. Sean Hewitt, an acclaimed Irish poet and
author, whose 2022 memoir All Down Darkness Wide won the Rooney Prize for
Irish Literature, introduces his long-awaited debut novel, Open, Heaven,
which follows the deeply emotive story of two young boys as they long to
discover themselves, and each other, and a terrifying desire takes over their
lives.
Continuing our Life’s Fundamentals series, this event is chaired by writer
and film-maker Michael Lee Richardson.
