Donal Ryan’s first novel The Spinning Heart won him both the Guardian First Book Award and a place on the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize in 2013. One of Ireland’s rising literary stars, his second book The Thing About December is being launched at the CCI tonight in French translation by publishers Albin Michel. Set during Ireland’s boom years, this story of a lonesome young farmer preyed upon by neighbours and acquaintances is an “unsettling study of the greed that tore us apart.. Ryan is carving out his terrain and striking at the heart of Irish life”. The Irish Times
