Rencontre with Martin Doyle on Thursday 25 September - in English
Martin Doyle is Literary Editor of The Irish Times and has been a journalist for thirty years. Published in 2024, his book Dirty Linen: The Troubles in My Home Place offers a personal, intimate history of the Troubles. It lifts the veil of silence drawn over the horrors of the past, recording with literary sensibility the terrible toll the conflict took – more than twenty violent deaths in a few square miles – and the long tail of trauma it has left behind.
At the CCI, fellow resident and Northern Irish writer Neil Hegarty talks with Martin Doyle about the writing of Dirty Linen as well as their shared experience of communal division and moments of solidarity that transcended the sectarian divide.
