Paul Lynch: Let Awake People Be Awake

Captioned

Paul Lynch describes his 2023 Booker Prize-winning Prophet Song as an ‘attempt at radical empathy’. A deeply human portrait of one woman’s fight to hold her family together, the novel imagines a chilling totalitarian-state future for Ireland which echoes the present situation of so many across the world. Tonight, Nicola Sturgeon joins Lynch to discuss his unsettling novel, the dangers of complacency, and the power of fiction to illuminate the possible with this writer at the top of his game.
