About this Event
Join us for an evening of conversation with Róisín Lanigan as we celebrate the paperback release of her compelling debut novel I Want To Go Home But I'm Already There.
Brilliantly observed and darkly funny, I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There is a ghost story set in the rental crisis. A wonderfully clear-eyed portrait of loneliness, loss and belonging, it examines what it means to feel at home.
Róisín Lanigan has been threatening to be the next great Irish writer for ages, so I'm glad she's finally sat down and done it - Joel Golby
This novel deftly pulls off so much at once - it's compulsively readable, thrilling and tense, laugh-out-loud funny and emotionally astute. I Want To Go Home But I'm Already There is one of the best things I've read on the psychological horrors of private renting, and what damp, overpriced flats can do to our emotional lives. Hilarious, horrifying, truly original. I loved it - Oisín McKenna, author of Evenings and Weekends
A smart, funny and, occasionally, terrifying story of love, rental and millennial angst. With rare skill and eerie precision, Lanigan captures the small joys and mundane horrors of the current moment. Beautifully written, frequently hilarious, and maddeningly real. - Seamas O'Reilly, author of
