Oisín McKenna - Evenings & Weekends

from The Writers' Cafe

Welcome to The Writers' Cafe! Brought to you from the award-winning indie, Sevenoaks Bookshop!This week's visitor to the cafe is the wonderful and brilliantly insightful, Oisín McKenna. This episode also marks the end of Series 1 of The Writers' Cafe Podcast, so a sincere and deeply felt thank you for listening to this truly brilliant, wise, and witty bunch of authors as they have joined us from across the globe to talk to us! It has been a pleasure.Oisín joins us to speak all things, Evenings & Weekends, his debut novel set across one sweltering summer in London. An outstanding debut that takes place over the course of a sweltering weekend in London. Perfectly representing precarious social conditions, the buzz of possibility, sweaty parties, endless desire, and the dreams of a diverse population of city dwellers – McKenna has crafted a novel that you will not want to put down. Follow Ed, Maggie, Phil, and Rosaleen as they navigate their dramas, longings, and heartbreaks (all in different ways, mind!), and you will not regret it. Bonus points for the campy marine biologist who looks like Princess Diana, here punned upon as the Princess of Whales. Truly excellent.If you are new to The Writer's Cafe pod: Inspired by our own in-shop cafe of the same name and the conversations about books, life, literature, and so much more every single day - as well as the literary salons of old where gossip thrived - this new podcast seeks to highlight and celebrate the best writers and voices every episode with a warm, detailed conversation about their work and craft.Oisín's work can be purchased here:https://sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk/shop/evenings-and-weekends-by-oisin-mckenna/https://sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk/Again, from me, Harry, thank you.
