ACIS Logo Claire Kilroy: 2015 Gerson Irish Reading, UConn

Dubliner Kilroy is one of Ireland’s most prominent contemporary writers. She is the author of four novels with Faber and Faber: All Summer (2003), Tenderwire (2006), All Names Have Been Changed (2009), and The Devil I Know (2012), a carnivalesque fable of Ireland’s recent property bubble that resurrects a character from Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. She was awarded the 2004 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and has been short-listed for the Kerry Group Novel of the Year Award three times. Kilroy was the Gerson Irish Reader six years ago, and we are delighted to see her return!
