Luke Cassidy

Writer Luke Cassidy’s debut novel Iron Annie (2021) was shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and dealt with themes of place, love and language. He has been awarded an Arts Council bursary and featured on the Laureate for Irish Fiction’s 'Art of Reading' series. Luke’s current work explores the power of misrepresentation and the possibility of truth in the contemporary world. During his time in Paris, he will pursue these concerns in his writing and his reading, through the optic of contemporary French literature.
