SUMMARY:Event: An Evening with Colm Tóibín
DESCRIPTION:To mark the publication of Colm Tóibín’s highly anticipated short story collection The News from Dublin (Picador)\, Writing on the Wall is delighted to reveal that the acclaimed Irish author will appear at WoWFEST26 on Sunday 31 May\, chaired by Professor Frank Shovlin. \nTóibín will discuss The News from Dublin\, a striking and deeply moving sequence of stories that span continents and generations\, from wartime Ireland to Barcelona\, Argentina and beyond. Moving between lives marked by exile\, secrecy and loss\, these luminous narratives explore family ties\, displacement\, and the enduring pull of home and memory. \nBorn in Enniscorthy in 1955\, Tóibín is the author of numerous acclaimed novels and short story collections\, including The Empty Family\, Brooklyn\, The Master\, The Magician and Long Island. A three-time Booker Prize finalist\, he has received the David Cohen Prize for Literature\, served as Laureate for Irish Fiction (2022–2024)\, and was Chancellor of the University of Liverpool until 2017. \nHe will be joined by Frank Shovlin\, Professor of Irish Literature at the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Irish Studies and an acclaimed critic and editor. Shovlin is renowned for his scholarship on James Joyce and John McGahern\, including The Letters of John McGahern (Faber & Faber) and the forthcoming biography John McGahern: A Writing Life.

SUMMARY:Event: ENSFR reading group\, June meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next short fiction reading group meeting will take place (via Zoom) on Monday 1st June at 5pm (UK time). Below\, you can find information on how to join the online meeting room. I have attached an iCalendar file that you can add to your calendar. \nDuring the meeting\, we will be discussing Julie-Ann’s reading suggestion: the short story “Death by Landscape” by Margaret Atwood. You can access the short story from this link: \nhttps://223141929335512656.weebly.com/uploads/1/7/0/9/17093284/deathbylandscape_atwood.pdf \nOur conversation will focus on the following discussion points that Julie-Ann has selected: \n\nThe story opens in a domestic interior but moves to a landscape of ‘wilderness’. How are these two contrasting spaces integral to the story?\nIs there a power dynamic in the friendship between Lois and Lucy?\nWhat is significant about the presentation of the camp and the language Atwood uses?\nDoes this story fit the category of bildungsroman?\nHow does Atwood explore ideas of colonisation?\nIn the following quote bodily absence is made significant. How does this idea relate to the wider societal conceptualisation of the female body through art\, culture and mass media? How are female bodies represented elsewhere in the story?\n\n“But a dead person is a body; a body occupies space\, it exists somewhere. You can see it; you put it in a box and bury it in the ground\, and then it’s in a box in the ground. But Lucy is not in a box or in the ground. Because she is nowhere definite\, she could be any where.” \n\nStructurally the story moves from present to past to present\, using character memory to explicate the main story. How does ‘framing’ the past within the present impact ideas and meanings?\nThe story ends with a mystery? Is the reader invited to play detective?\n\nThose who are interested in exploring the work further might want to read Atwood’s collection Wilderness Tips which also features “Death by Landscape”. Many of the other short stories in the collection are worth reading in conjunction\, particularly “True Trash”. This is a recommendation by Julie-Ann. It is not mandatory to read further short stories for the meeting. \n— \nInes Gstrein is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic:  Short Fiction Reading Group – June 2026 \nTime: Jun 1\, 2026 05:00 PM London \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85116499205?pwd=hx6KiEeoOcdhPibo4Egw3770UQhger.1
