An Infinitely Full Stop: Mark O’Connell and Chris Morash Discuss John Banville’s Writing

Recorded April 9th, 2025. A discussion between Prof Chris Morash (English) and Dr Mark O'Connell (Author and Rooney Writer Fellow, Trinity Long Room Hub) organised by the Library of Trinity College Dublin. Professor Chris Morash, Trinity’s Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing, and prize-winning author Dr Mark O’Connell discuss on the writing of John Banville. This event coincides with the inclusion of works from Banville’s archive, housed in Trinity, in the current exhibition in the Old Library Long Room. On display in the exhibition is the manuscript draft of The Singularities (2022), which – differing from the published text - concludes with the line “at the last inscribe a full, and infinitely full, full stop.” Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub
