As an internationally best-selling author and playwright, Joseph O'Connor's career has grown far beyond his quiet Dalkey upbringing. Chatting with Professors Nugent and Cronin, O'Connor weaves informed, inspiring, and effortlessly funny tales of his bookish childhood, his delinquency at Blackrock college, his political radicalization, the plight of the arts in Ireland, and the legacy of Dublin as a hub of literary innovation.
