Field Ramble
Field Ramble with Mary Costello and Feryal Ali Gauhar
Field Ramble is back with award winning Irish novelist Mary Costello to hear about her latest short story collection Barcelona. It follows firmly in the footsteps of her debut novel Academy Street ( Novel of the Year 2014, The Irish Book Awards) and her first collection The China Factory in its fearlessness. Never afraid to shine a light on our darker side, Barcelona is unsparing in its exploration of cruelty and, in Mary's own words, our straining for consciousness.
In this bumper episode we also meet up with film maker, activist and novelist Feryal Ali Gauhar to discuss her latest novel An Abundance of Wild Roses. The book is set within a remote community in Pakistan's Karakoram mountains and centres around the discovery of a dying man and the repercussions that ensue.
Both Mary and Feryal are writing into spaces about connection, growing violence and the possibility of wider consciousness.
Barcelona is published on 07/03/24
An Abundance of Wild Roses is also published on 07/03/24
