Prophet Song

The Conversation online livestream is a series of weekly events talking about conflict and empathy, inequality and power, climate crisis and wonder through storytelling and action, available wherever you are in the world.  Everyone is welcome.

Irish winner of the 2023 Booker Prize Paul Lynch talks about his novel, Prophet Song, a deeply moving exploration of what happened to ordinary people caught up in terrible events. The novel is set in an imagined Ireland teetering on the verge of collapse and controlled by a government descending into tyranny. Scientist Eilish Stack finds herself caught in a collapsing society after her husband, a trade union leader, mysteriously disappears. She faces some terrible choices of what or who she is prepared to sacrifice to save herself and her family.

‘Soul-shattering and true’ Esi Edugyan, chair of Booker Prize judges.

Chaired by Monocle’s Georgina Godwin.

In addition to this interview being available to watch live, it can be streamed up to 30 days after the event has taken place.
