Roddy Doyle is the author of the Barrytown Trilogy, comprising, The Commitments (1987), The Snapper (1990), The Van (1991). The trilogy has been chosen for Dublin One City One Book in April 2015.
The RDS Library will feature Roddy Doyle in the Library Speaker Series as part of the Dublin One City One Book Festival. Roddy will be in conversation with Catherine Dunne, for this very special event, being held in a Library that is celebrating 50 years in its present building.
Author Roddy Doyle commented “When I wrote the books that make up The Barrytown Trilogy I hoped that the city would come up off the page, like a character. When the characters spoke, Dublin spoke. So, twenty-eight years after I started writing the novels that make up the trilogy, I'm delighted - and proud - that it will be the Dublin: One City, One Book choice for 2015.”
