Renowned US writer kicks off Cork short story festival
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Independence Day and The Sportswriter is on his third visit to the event, and underlined his affection for Cork.
“Why does one love a place? I feel the same way about New Orleans. Not that there’s not a thousand things to like about Cork, a thousand things to like about coming to Ireland. The first time I came here I just felt, ‘This is right. This is right for me’. So I’ll come back as long as I’m able,” he said.
