In addition to her hilarious, pomposity-puncturing and (apparently) hourly interventions on Twitter/X, Annie West is one of the country’s most celebrated illustrators and cartoonists. Her unique style is instantly recognisable as is her stalwart support of her home county of Sligo and her passion for the love life of William Butler Yeats. Many of her interests have coalesced in the writing of The Late Night Writers Club where Ireland’s most famous deceased writers desert their pantheon(s) and gather, after hours, in the reading room of the National Library. Annie was in conversation with Gerry Foley at Hinterland 2024.

Recorded live at Hinterland Festival of Literature and Arts.
