The theme of the event will be ‘What does it take to trip a man up – to send him on a crash course with his own inevitable shortcomings?’. Maria will read from her new acclaimed novel This is How which is a mesmerizing and meticulously drawn portrait of a man whose unease in the world as it is leads to his tragic undoing.

Steve Toltz’s Booker-longlisted debut A Fraction of the Whole is a coruscating comic novel of failed connections and the absurd inevitability of disaster. From his prison cell Jasper Dean recounts the shortfalls of his father’s schemes, his uncle’s treachery and how together they upset an entire continent. The result is a rollercoaster ride from obscurity to infamy and back again.

The event takes place at Dublin’s Project Arts Centre at 6.00pm on June 6th. For further details, and to book tickets, check the festival website here
