Anne Enright, the Booker prize winner is reading from her book The Gathering next Tuesday 29 January at 8.00pm in Pavillion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin. She will also read from her forthcoming collection of short stories Taking Pictures, to be published in March. Let's hope the BOoker win will promote sales of this as short stories are often badly promoted, displayed and, funnily enough, this is reflected in the sales. Last time I looked, there wasn't a section in Waterstones for short stories.
Admission €12
