Acclaimed author Sarah Waters joins us for this evening's #DCUBookClub in Cregan Library. She is discussing her bestselling novel The Night Watch with Celeste McNamara from @dublincityuni.bsky.social's School of History and Geography.

Sarah Waters references Jeanette Winterson, Alan Hollinghurst, Zadie Smith and Oscar Wilde at the #DCUBookClub and recommends Dark Water by Joyce Carol Oates to our book club audience

Thanks to @dublincityuni.bsky.social DCU Arts and Culture for another brilliant #DCUBookClub and to @kobpix.bsky.social for the fab photos. Join us for Oisín Fagan discussing Eden's Shore on 19th November. Book your free ticket on www.eventbrite.ie/e/dcu-book-c...

Sarah Waters reads from her novel The Night Watch at the #DCUBookClub. The novel follows the relationships of three women - Kay, Helen and Julia who represented 'bits of me' when she started sketching out the story, but who then 'became their own people'.

Sarah Waters was drawn to writing historical fiction as a way to explore gay and lesbian subculture and engage with social history. Gaps in women's stories from the past can be frustrating for historians, but fiction writers have a license to fill in those gaps. #DCUBookClub

Sarah Waters talks about The Night Watch, her 'novel of relationships' at the #DCUBookClub. She immersed herself in accounts of the lives of women in 1940s London during and after World War II when researching the book.

If reading these books is wrong, we don't wanna be right! Banning books doesn't make them go away, as these spectacular novels that were previously banned in Ireland show 📚

You can find all of these books in DCU Library via the new and improved Library Search! 📚 #bannedbooks #bannedbookweek

How many are you gettin'? 📚

And we're back! The first #DCUBookClub of the season kicks off with Djamel White who is discussing his Booker longlisted novel All Them Dogs with Darran McCann from @dublincityuni.bsky.social's School of English.

Djamel White finishes the #DCUBookClub with his reading recommendations - Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada. The Green Road by Anne Enright also gets a special mention as an influence on a key scene in his novel All Them Dogs.

Thanks to DCU Arts & Culture for a great night! Join us for the next #DCUBookClub with Sarah Waters and The Night Watch on 15th October in Cregan Library. Only a few spaces left so book your free ticket now! www.eventbrite.ie/e/dcu-book-c...

Djamel White answers questions about All Them Dogs from the #DCUBookClub audience. He discusses the novel's influences, language, themes and its reception by audiences outside Ireland.

Despite its gritty depiction of gangland Dublin Djamel White talks about how most people can resonate with the problems the characters are experiencing in All Them Dogs #DCUBookClub

All Them Dogs is set in Djamel White's native West Dublin and tells the story of Tony's attempt to prove himself in the criminal underworld. The Booker judges praised the author for his ear for 'racy and unreal' dialogue and for creating characters that jump off the page. #DCUBookClub
