An episode from 6/8/22: Tonight, we hear from two of the greatest twentieth century Irish writers. In the first half of the episode, I read from Dennis O\\u2019Driscoll\\u2019s interviews with Seamus Heaney. Here, Heaney talks about his methods, his inspiration, his favorite time of day to write.

\\n

In the second part (beginning around 35:15) I read \\u2060James Joyce\\u2019s great short story of disappointed young love, \\u201cAraby.\\u201d\\u2060 The reading is prefaced by a few personal thoughts on Joyce, and includes an excerpt from \\u2060Gabriel\\u2019s Yared\\u2019s score for the film The English Patient\\u2060, which I describe as being inextricably linked to my earliest experiences of reading Joyce. (One of the earliest episodes of this podcast goes further into my debt to The English Patient).
