It’s your favorite day of the month - The Buxton Book Club! This month, we are reading A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ni Ghriofa!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
“In this stunningly unusual prose debut, Doireann Ni Ghriofa sculpts essay and autofiction to explore inner life and the deep connection felt between two writers centuries apart. In the 1700s, an Irish noblewoman, on discovering her husband has been murdered, drinks handfuls of his blood and composes an extraordinary poem. In the present day, a young mother narrowly avoids tragedy. On encountering the poem, she becomes obsessed with its parallels with her own life, and sets out to track down the rest of the story.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a poet and essayist and the winner of the James Tait Back Prize for Biography and Irish Book of the Year 2020. Additionally, she has been awarded a Lannan Literary Fellowship (USA), the Ostana Prize (Italy), a Seamus Heaney Fellowship (Queen’s University), and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature.
