During the sweltering summer of 2019, with the weekend approaching, four friends' lives are to be changed forever. Set over two scorching days, Oisin Mckenna's brilliant debut is a vivid, contemporary rendering of London in all its kaleidoscopic glory and heartbreak

Oisin Mckenna is an award-winning writer and spoken-word artist whose work has tackled topics such as gentrification and the alienation of Dublin's youth. This compassion and awareness of the issues that face young people is evident in Evenings and Weekends, his radical, passionate debut novel, set over a scorching London weekend in June 2019. Written in vivid, fresh prose that sears and soothes, it brilliantly dissects the struggles of modern life.

Oisin will be in conversation with Ryan J Smith.
