SUMMARY:Inprint Paul Lynch Reading
DESCRIPTION: \nPaul Lynch will read from his novel Prophet Song followed by an on-stage conversation with Houston author and former Houston Chronicle Book Editor Maggie Galehouse. The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing. The event is presented as part of the 2024/2025 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.  \nPaul Lynch is the author of the award-winning novels Red Sky in Morning\, The Black Snow\, Grace\, and Beyond the Sea. Grace was chosen as the 2018 Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year and shortlisted for the 2018 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing. The Black Snow won France’s Prix Libr’à Nous for Best Foreign Novel and was a finalist for the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger (Best Foreign Book Prize). In 2024\, Lynch was appointed Distinguished Writing Fellow at Maynooth University in Ireland and was elected to Ireland’s prestigious Aosdána\, which honors artists who have made outstanding contributions to the arts. \nLynch joins us from Dublin to read from and talk about his latest novel Prophet Song\, winner of the 2023 Booker Prize\, in which he tells the story of scientist and mother-of-four\, Eilish Stack. As Ireland descends into a totalitarian state\, she must locate her husband\, whom the secret police have “disappeared\,” and care for her ailing father and young children\, all while she finds herself caught in the nightmare logic of a society that is quickly unravelling. Esi Edugyan\, chair of The Booker Prize judges\, calls Prophet Song “a triumph of emotional storytelling\, bracing and brave…. Readers will find it soul-shattering and true\, and will not soon forget its warnings\,” and Colum McCann writes\, “The comparisons are inevitable – Saramago\, Orwell\, McCarthy – but this novel will stand entirely on its own.” \nMaggie Galehouse is an award-winning local writer\, editor\, and researcher. She was the former book editor at the Houston Chronicle\, and she has reported on education\, crime\, and business for a variety of newspapers. She currently works as a Program Director in the Communications Department at MD Anderson Cancer Center. \n
