Critic and Creator: Patricia Craig in Conversation with Chris Agee

Non-Fiction

Patricia Craig’s magisterial collection of essays and reviews, Kilclief & Other Essays, was published by The Irish Pages Press in 2021.

She joins us at the Book Festival to discuss a lifetime of reading and writing with the Editor of the North’sforemost literary publisher, Chris Agee.

“At once critic and creator, Patricia Craig is what Jorge Luis Borges calls ‘a complete reader’; and ‘complete readers’, he suggests, are even rarer than good writers.” – Michael Longley, The Irish Times

“Patricia Craig is not only Ireland’s greatest reader, she is also … line by line, page by page, one of its finest, wittiest writers.” – Glenn Patterson, novelist
