Cast of characters named for the ‘biggest celebration of Irish writing’
The Bord Gáis Irish Books Awards are now in their eighth year, and the shortlists, compiled by a panel of industry experts, cover a spectrum from literature and crime to sport, cookery, children’s literature, and memoir. There’s a new category this year, for short stories.
The list includes names such as Roddy Doyle, Eamon Dunphy, Frank McGuinness, Jennifer Saunders, and Colum McCann.
