An expectant audience for Shirley Levy’s class on Greek Mythology
The Monday Talk
A literary and psychological exploration of regret, longing and love in Colm Tóibín’s novel Long Island: Mickey Yudkin looks at the Irish novelist’s recent work and how he describes these strong emotions in his writing.
ERROR! ERROR! The AGM will take place on Monday 31 March
and not 10 March as erroneously printed in last week’s Update.
On 10 March the Monday Talk welcomes our very own Conor Magill who questions whether Napoleon Bonaparte I should be considered as hero or villain.
Wanted
