Sally Rooney, City Arts & Lectures (Rescheduled)

(Rescheduled from November) Sally Rooney “writes about tricky commonplace things (text messages, sex) with a familiarity no one else has” (The Paris Review). Her novels Conversations with Friends and Normal People, are nuanced portraits of people in their twenties, exploring their relationships to one another and the structures of class, abuse, and intimacy. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Granta and The London Review of Books and she is the editor of the Irish literary journal The Stinging Fly.
