How To Be Invisible: A Celebration of Kate Bush
International Literature Festival
Wednesday 22nd May @ 8pm
Buy Tickets HERE
With a career spanning four decades and ten albums, Kate Bush is loved as much for her evocative lyrics and beautifully crafted songs as her powerful performances. In celebration of her recent lyrics collection How To Be Invisible, we’re presenting a special celebration of Kate Bush as songwriter and storyteller. Academic, writer and broadcaster, Siobhán Kane is joined by Dónal Lunny, and others for an evening of readings, song and discussion.
‘Her songwriting suggests the only way to weather it [uncertainty] is with curiosity; applying silliness as courageously as literary seriousness, balancing spiritual insight alongside unabashed carnality, domestic truth alongside fantasy, never concerned by contradictions.’ The Guardian.

Every Dubliner has their own story about James Joyce, and no one more so than our best-known Joycean, Senator David Norris. Senator Norris has been at the heart of Joyce’s Dublin for nearly sixty years. For our Bloomsday Interview, Senator Norris will sit down with Irish journalist, RTE presenter and former newsreader Anne Doyle to discuss all things Joyce. The interview will take place in Joyce’s alma mater, Belvedere College.
David Norris was Senior Lecturer in the Department of English in Trinity College Dublin for almost 30 years. Students from across faculties crammed into his stimulating lectures. He wrote Introducing Joyce: A Graphic Guide, edited the International James Joyce Symposium and helped organise the Joyce Centenary Celebrations in Dublin in 1982. He was instrumental in establishing the Bloomsday Festival which is now celebrated all over the world on the 16th of June each year.
David Norris is one of Ireland’s leading Joyce scholars, was Founding Chairman of the James Joyce Centre and the North Great Georges Street Preservation Society. He is also known for his work on national and international human and civil rights and equality issues as well as the conservation of Dublin’s architectural heritage. David Norris was a candidate in the Irish Presidential election 2011. His autobiography A Kick Against the Pricks has been nominated for several prizes. As the longest serving member of Seanad Eireann, Senator David Norris became “Father of the House” in 2011.

We are so pleased to welcome the New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert to Dublin for what is sure to be a very special Off the Page event!
Her 2006 memoir Eat Pray Love, a chronicle of her journey alone around the world looking for solace after a difficult divorce, became a multi-million international bestseller and was made into a film starring Julia Roberts.
City of Girls, Elizabeth Gilbert’s new novel, is a glittering coming-of-age epic, stitched across the fabric of 1940s New York. It’s a delicious story of glamour, sex and self-discovery, in which a young woman learns that you don’t have to be a good girl to be a good person.
The event will be chaired by writer and critic Anna Carey.
“Life is both fleeting and dangerous, and there is no point in denying yourself pleasure, or being anything other than what you are.” Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls
