The Lives of the Saints - The Laureate Lectures

From A Long Long Way , his Booker shortlisted novel about the Irish soldiers who fought for Britain during the First World War to his Donal McCann starring hit-play, The Steward of Christendom ; from his first Costa Book of the Year novel The Secret Scripture to his second, Days Without End , a decade later, Sebastian Barry''s writing career has been as long and varied as it has extraordinary. Intimate, revealing and generous of heart, these three lectures - written and delivered as part of his three year tenure as the Laureate for Irish fiction - reflect on his life and career so far, some of the formative moments and people he''s met along the way, and the ongoing importance of creativity.
