Welcome to the The Art of Reading a monthly book club hosted by Colm Tóibín, the Laureate for Irish Fiction. We invite readers everywhere to join us on the last Thursday of every month.

The first Art of Reading book club features Colm in conversation with Claire Keegan about her latest work Small Things Like These.

Each month our Laureate will discuss a novel by an Irish writer, highlighting outstanding Irish writing and celebrating the reader and book clubs. The selected titles will include new work by contemporary Irish writers as well as novels from the past that the Laureate wishes to bring to a new generation of readers. Readers, book lovers and book clubs everywhere are invited to join in the Art of Reading with the Laureate, to read these outstanding books and to engage in reading in a deep and focused way.
