Leaves On Air Episode 1 Hilary Fannin

Our fifth Big Night In happened on Zoom in front of an audience of 250 on Saturday June 6th with author, playwright and Irish Times columnist Hilary Fannin. She spoke about her debut novel The Weight of Love, her early childhood memoir Hopscotch and about life in lockdown with her sons, partner and long suffering cat. Fannin also reflected on her decision to become a college student - doing a masters in creative writing in Trinity College - for the first time in her fifties. She spoke with warmth and humour about her insecure childhood with bohemian parents Bob and Marie, which at one point saw the family being evicted from their home. We had a lot of excellent feedback about the event and are delighted to bring you this conversation between Irish Times columnists Roisin Ingle and Hilary Fannin. Hosted on Acast.
