DESCRIPTION:Marian Keyes\, Vicki Notaro and Maria Butler in conversation with Aoife Barry\n\n\nMarian Keyes is one of Ireland’s most important fiction authors.

Join authors Marian Keyes\, Vicki Notaro\, and author of Marian Keyes and the Politics of Commercial Fiction (UCD Press)\, Maria Butler\, as they discuss the politics of women’s commercial fiction in conversation with Aoife Barry. They hope to challenge the existing narrative on Keyes and other writers\, and open a window into their extraordinary writings for future readers. \nPlease note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website. \nMarian Keyes is the multi-million copy\, internationally bestselling author of some of the most widely loved genre-defying novels of the past thirty years – such as Rachel’s Holiday\, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups – and has millions of fans around the world.
