TPOE 113: Books Of The Year 2018 (with Ruth Gilligan)

Listmas 2018 rolls on with the TPOE Books of the Year roundup. I'm joined by novelist Ruth Gilligan, author of Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan and who teaches creative writing at the University of Birmingham, as we discuss what's on each other's top 10 list. It was a really fun, in-depth discussion about our favourite books. I won't spoil it all, but expect discussion on Sally Rooney, Emilie Pine, Rachel Kushner and Anna Burns' Milkman. Plus was how did Irish writing fare in 2018 and we also discuss what we're looking forward to in 2019,
