The Limerick-born writer has been on our wish-list for ages so it\u2019s brilliant to have the chance to talk to him about his work to date, his hit-rate when it comes to literary awards, the fabulous <strong>\u201cCity of Bohane\u201d<\/strong>, the forthcoming<strong> \u201cBeatlebone\u201d<\/strong>, a novel about John Lennon\u2019s imagined journey to the west coast of Ireland in 1978, and his return to the \u201cquare place\u201d for a sequel to \u201cCity of Bohane\u201d. We\u2019ll also find out if he misses the aul\u2019 freelance journalism game in any way, shape or form (that\u2019s probably a no).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thisisbanter.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1523\" src=\"https:\/\/thisisbanter.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620.jpg\" alt=\"kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banter.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/banter.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banter.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/kevinwide_lo-1-1024x620-495x300.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Banter\u2019s conversation with Kevin Barry takes place at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shannonrowingclub.com\/\">Shannon Rowing Club<\/a>\u00a0on Saturday July 4th at 2pm.
