Literature Ireland is delighted to present Blúiríní, a series of videos filmed across Ireland by cinematographer JP Quill featuring some of Ireland’s most exciting writers.

We asked Seán Hewitt, author of All Down Darkness Wide (Jonathan Cape) and winner of the Rooney Prize, to tell us about his book, his current favourite title by another Irish author, and which language he would love to see his book translated into.

Blúiríní (Irish for snippets) offers an insight into the work spaces and home places of each writer. With Blúiríní, Literature Ireland hopes to build an awareness of new voices in Irish literature and to communicate just some of the sense of excitement writers experience at the prospect of their work being read in another language.
