AWW23: Why the Irish Are a Mystery Unto Themselves - Fintan O'Toole


Listen Later

Chair: Maxine McKew

Fintan O’Toole is one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals, as a columnist for The Irish Times, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker and The Guardian and as the Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Professor in Irish Letters at Princeton University. Through his writing, O’Toole has provided some of the sharpest critiques of post-Brexit Britain. His most recent book, We Don’t Know Ourselves, is a brilliantly original account of the making of modern Ireland from the dead hand of the Catholic Church to the legalisation of gay marriage.

Event details: Sat 04 Mar, 12:00pm on the East Stage
