The Anti Room on books (048, Apr 2013)

They’re back! We’ve had two visits from The Anti Room to Banter for live recordings of their monthly podcasts. All involved have had a swell time on both occasions so it’s time for round three of The Banti Room.

On this occasion, it’s The Anti Room on books, literature and feminism with Sheila Heti (the Canadian writer whose new book How Should A Person Be? has just been published), Sinead Desmond (TV3) and Roe McDermott (Fanny.ie and RTE Arena) joining Anti Room hosts Sinead Gleeson and Anna Carey.

Sheila will be reading selections from How Should Be A Person Be? and also signing copies of the book afterwards. You’ll find Anti Room host Sinead Gleeson’s recent interview with Sheila for The Irish Times here.

The details: The Anti Room on books takes place on Sunday April 28 at The Workman’s Club, Wellington Quay, Dublin 2 (thanks to Karl and all at the Workman’s for facilitating this event). Doors open at 7.30pm and the conversation gets underway at 8pm sharp. Admission is free, but you need to be signed up to the invite list which you will find here.

About The Anti Room: The Anti Room was founded in 2008 by four Dublin-based journalists and was the home of many Irish ladies writing about everything from fashion to feminism and pop culture to politics. Last year, they’ve started podcasting and you can listen to or download some of the recent episodes here.
