Episode Synopsis

In their conversation, Belinda McKeon and Kate Costello-Sullivan situate the rich spareness and reticence in McKeon’s fiction in its socio-cultural Irish context. They talk about navigating the balance between continuing literary traditions and creating innovative narratives; about the influence that settling down in the United States has had on McKeon’s style; about writing male characters and shifting to focus unapologetically on female characters; about motherhood and writing; and about the psyche and the body in her canon. McKeon also reads from her short story "Privacy" from the collection Being Various.www.efacis.eu
