Kevin Barry in the New Yorker
Some very good news this week as Kevin Barry makes his New Yorker debut with a new short story, ‘Fjord of Killary’. The story appears in the February 1st edition and can be read online here:
Well done to Kevin. Now that he’s made it there, he can make it anywhere…
And there is more good news… Kevin’s first novel, City of Bohane, will be published next year by Jonathan Cape.
And more… A production of his own adaptation of the stories from his debut collection, There Are Little Kingdoms, is being staged in Washington D.C. at the Keegan Theatre in March this year.
There Are Little Kingdoms was first published in 2007 and was named a book of the year by The Irish Times, The Sunday Tribune and Metro. It also earned Kevin the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature that year.
