Queer Literary Dublin \u2013 Walking Tour From queer revolutionaries, through censorship, to contemporary trans and genderqueer authors, come explore Dublin's storied queer heritage!
About this Event

Dublin’s intimate relationship with the written word is well-known. In this Pride Month tour – the first of its kind – we will journey through its streets and explore its storied queer past – its people, places and texts. We will hear tales of resilience and celebration, from a sex worker-turned-novelist whose path may have crossed with Wilde's, through the censorship of Kate O’Brien’s novels, to the flourishing careers of contemporary trans and genderqueer writers – and much else besides. Moving from the late nineteenth-century to the present day, learn about those writers whose lives and works were marked by this city, and who have left their own enduring mark on it.
