Award-winning Irish novelist Donal Ryan speaks about why he writes and the range of emotions he encounters during the creative process.
We discussed how sharing your art can be like revealing a part of your soul & why writers are so sensitive to criticism. Donal has published seven novels and is a professor of creative writing at the University of Limerick, yet still struggles to tell people he is a ‘writer’.
This was an uplifting discussion that touched on a range of important topics. Donal also reads a sample of his latest novel ‘The Queen of Dirt Island’.
