Set in the 1970s, Donal McLaughlin's 'Liam O'Donnell' stories move between the West of Scotland and Northern Ireland and use the languages and voices of both places. In this collection, the Liam stories sit alongside others with more recent and international settings.
In the second part of this event, those present will have the opportunity to discuss issues relating to translation, including working with a translator / interpreter and doing events abroad.
