Acts of Desperation | Megan Nolan with Elaine Canning| Jaipur Literature Festival 2022

Описание: Acts of Desperation | Megan Nolan in conversation with Elaine Canning | Jaipur Literature Festival 2022 | Presented by Embassy of Ireland

Megan Nolan’s taut, provocative debut novel, Acts of Desperation, tells the story of all-consuming love, longing and obsession, in the throes of which is a divided consciousness. In a kind of unflinching confession and critique, Nolan offers the reader reflection and revelation, a portrait of perhaps their own, and indeed inherently human, dreams, desires, and insatiability. In conversation with writer Elaine Canning, Nolan discusses her literary debut and the convulsions of desire and desperation.

Megan Nolan is a London-based Irish writer. Her writing includes essays, fiction and reviews which have been published widely, including in The New York Times, The White Review, The Sunday Times, The Village Voice, The Guardian and in the literary anthology, Winter Papers.

Her debut novel Acts of Desperation was published by Jonathan Cape and Little, Brown in 2021, and has now been sold in 13 languages.
