LAUNCH OF Malinski on Audible
with performances by actor Gerry Cannon and author Siofra O’Donovan

Q and A with Andrea Splendori of Social Fabric Podcast



First published in Ireland and later in Poland, Malinski returns in a new Audible edition at a moment when its themes feel strikingly contemporary.

The novel begins in Lviv–once Polish Lvov and now in Ukraine– where two brothers are separated by war. As the Nazis advance, young Henryk persuades his mother to return to the family home rather than flee west. It is a decision that will shape both their lives. After the fall of communism fifty years later, Henry and Stanislav meet again. 



Now narrated for Audible by Gerry Cannon and recorded by BitSixteen, this special evening at Whale Theatre will feature live readings by Gerry Cannon and Siofra O’Donovan, followed by a conversation and Q&A with Andrea Splendori 

An evening about the long consequences of war: exile, dispossession,  fractured memory, and the ways in which history continues to inhabit ordinary lives.

Malinski was widely acclaimed on publication, with praise from The Irish Times, Irish Independent, The Irish Examiner, 

The Warsaw Voice and Rzeczpospolita.

Malinski was launched by His Excellency the Ambassador of Poland in the AIB Headquarters in September 2000. It was acclaimed by The Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Business Post, Sunday Tribune, The Irish Examiner, The Warsaw Voice and Rzeczpospolita, the Polish national newspaper. It sold out in hardback and is now in paperback. It was published in Poland by Arteria Press, Poland in 2003 and they no longer hold the Polish rights for this book. They no longer exist as a company.

 ‘…a well crafted, intelligent story…There is much to admire in O’Donovan’s novel: her treatment of memory and the tricks it can play give the story its shape; her writing is confident and her descriptions powerful, often beautiful… Malinski is a strong debut that marks O’Donovan as a writer to watch.’ – Irish Times

‘O’Donovan’s debut is compelling and full of promise.’ – Irish Independent

‘The language of the novel is porcelain, eerie and crystal. One feels that each word is an exact choice… O’Donovan gets under the skin of her characters and they are sensitively and acutely portrayed… It is refreshing to see such a fine Irish novel take the stage from this side of the Irish Sea.’ – Sunday Business Post

‘In Malinski , O’Donovan handles gracefully and with thoughtful attention to detail a variety of settings, characters and moods…the flair with which she describes Cracow- past and present, the ageing Stanislav, the chipper atmosphere and banter of Henry’s green Irish island entourage and the mother’s impenetrable isolated persona all point to a bright literary future.’ – The Warsaw Voice

‘We can look forward with confidence to Siofra O’Donovan’s next book.. simple, clearsighted and uncluttered.’ – Sunday Tribune

‘Malinski is ultimately a very heart-felt novel.’ – The Irish Examiner 

‘O’Donovan’s choice of two elderly Polish men for her first fictional characters is ambitious, but her finely crafted descriptions of war-torn Cracow and the poignancy of a prose that is lyrical without being over-stated lend the Malinski brothers a dignity and pathos that rings true.’ – Irish Times Paperback review
