The Cow Book author John Connell
As part of Literary Longford, the Backstage Theatre is teaming up two of Ireland’s best-selling authors; renowned raconteur Michael Harding and Longford’s own John Connell who shot to fame last year with his novel The Cow Book.
Theatre Director and author of The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke down, Padraic McIntyre, will interview both writers in an informal discussion where they will chat about their work and read from their novels.
