Strange Flowers:

Donal Ryan in conversation with Cauvery Madhavan

Irish author Donal Ryan explores the muses, methods and inspirations behind his latest work, Strange Flowers, a story that paints the beautiful and devastating life of despairing parents, their missing daughter, and what – or who – she brings with her upon her astonishing return. It is an intricate depiction of loss, alienation and the redemptive power of love; reaffirming Ryan as one of the most talented and empathetic writers in the modern literary world. He has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards including the 2015 EU Prize for literature for his Spinning Heart.
