54. Colin Walsh in conversation with Kersti Powell (14 November 2024)

In his conversation with Kersti Powell, Colin Walsh talks about his debut novel Kala (2023), how he needed to constantly toggle between character and structure in writing the story; how his characters, and society in general, are complicit by willfully averting their gaze; and how they all approach the past differently. He also discusses short stories as an excellent way to develop writing skills; Irish writing after the Celtic tiger era and the influence of Kevin Barry; and the novel as a theatre of multiplicity.
