Вымысел, факты и всё, что между ними

Fiction, Faction and the Spaces in Between Eoin McNamee and Aanchal Malhotra in conversation with Paul McVeigh, introduced by Colm McGivern In Partnership with British Council The boundaries of fiction and faction are porous, shifting and layered. These porous borders in contested histories and divided societies can blur the fixities of the stories they engage with.

His collected short fiction, The Comets, will be published in October 2026. He is the Director of the Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre.
