Madeleine Keane on books: Culture and craic in Kerry, reprising Joyce’s The Dead and congratulations to Enda Wyley

Kerry in the depths of winter may not sound very alluring but one of my best memories from last year, is the weekend I spent at Dingle Lit. The annual book festival takes place again this year across the weekend of November 21-23 and Gabriel Byrne, Eimear McBride, Hugo Hamilton, Nicole Flattery and Diarmaid Ferriter are some of the highlights in a vibrant schedule. There’s also poetry, workshops, children’s events and the rest.
