Sarah Kavanagh Consul General of Ireland in Miami

Tickets are required and are available here.  Please come along and support brilliant writing and the author-events that make our community so culturally vibrant.

 Dear Friends, 

I hope this finds you well and that you enjoyed some of the celebrations of Irish heritage that took place during the month of March.  You can see some of the Consulate’s highlights on our Instagram feed! Thank you to all those that helped to make Irish-heritage month an inclusive, fun and festive period. 

I am writing to you today to highlight two upcoming literary evenings that I think you will love.  I am working with our great friends at Books and Books on both and I have promised that the friends of the Consulate will turn out in support! J 

One of my favorite authors of all time, Patrick Radden Keefe, will speak at the Congregational Church in Coral Gables (3010 De Soto Blvd) at 7 pm on Friday, 10th April to discuss his new book “London Falling”.  

Patrick is a masterful storyteller who takes real life events and turns them into epic page-turners (you may have read the brilliant, award-winning “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland”).  (Also worth a listen: his fascinating podcast series on spies, secrets, soviets and rock music).  I was so sad to miss seeing Patrick at his sell out appearance at the Festival of Ideas and Writing in Borris, Co. Carlow, Ireland so I am thrilled that I can catch him in Miami, thanks to Books & Books, and I hope you will join us. 

Tickets are required and are available here.  Please come along and support brilliant writing and the author-events that make our community so culturally vibrant.
