Tessa Hadley & Donal Ryan: Tales of Life and Loss, 24 November | Event in Folkestone | AllEvents.in About the event Tessa Hadley & Donal Ryan: Tales of Life and Loss
Tessa Hadley, known for her keen psychological insight and elegant prose, will present her latest short story collection, After the Funeral, and her new novella, The Party. These both delve deep into family dynamics and hidden secrets, showcasing Hadley’s remarkable ability to illuminate the complexities of ordinary lives.

Joining her is acclaimed Irish author Donal Ryan, whose lyrical and emotionally resonant narratives have garnered critical acclaim. His latest novel, Heart Be at Peace, continues to explore themes of love, loss, and redemption, all rendered with his signature poetic grace and deep empathy for his characters.

In this engaging conversation, Hadley and Ryan will examine how they capture the nuances of life, love, and loss in their writing. They will share their approaches to crafting compelling narratives within the short story form, discuss the unique challenges and rewards it offers, and reveal what inspires them to write.

This is a unique opportunity to witness the interplay of two distinct voices, each bringing their own perspective to the human experience. Secure your tickets now for an afternoon of literary brilliance and heartfelt storytelling.
