Fiction
Described by Anne Enright as “the natural heir to Joyce and Beckett”, Eimear is known for her virtuosic, rule-breaking fiction, including the multi-award-winning A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing.
Join Eimear in conversation with journalist Alex Clark about her new novel, The City Changes Its Face (Faber, 2025), a story of two lovers in London that returns to the couple in The Lesser Bohemians. From passion to jealousy, this exquisite novel explores how love changes with the passing of time.
Eimear McBride is the author of four novels: A Girl is a Half-formed Thing, The Lesser Bohemians, Strange Hotel and The City Changes Its Face. She held the inaugural Creative Fellowship at the Beckett Research Centre, University of Reading and is the recipient of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Goldsmiths Prize, Kerry Prize, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
