Writers Read and The Canadian School for Irish Studies Present Lisa McInerney

Writers Read, a Concordia-based reading series, in collaboration with the Canadian School of Irish Studies, is eager to host Lisa McInerney. Lisa McInerney is the author of three novels: The Glorious Heresies (2015), The Blood Miracles (2017), and The Rules of Revelation (2021). She has won the Baileys Prize for Women’s Fiction, the Desmond Elliott Prize, the RSL Encore Award, and the Premio Edoardo Kihlgren for European Literature. The Boston Globe describes McInerney’s writing as “vibrantly-drawn, richly-rendered, and wonderfully full of surprises.”

Writers Read is part of Concordia University’s Creative Writing program and is supported by the Department of English and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Writers Read, directed by Professor Sina Queyras since 2011, invites renowned and emerging authors, both Canadian and international, to read from and discuss their work with students and local audiences. In addition to readings, the series includes Master Classes and professional developmental activities spanning the school year.
