David McWilliams read Nathan Thrall’s book last year before the Gaza and October 7th massacres. He couldn’t put it down. It tells the true story of a young Palestinian boy, a tragic accident, his family and the daily humiliations of the Palestinian people. There is much cruelty but there is much love, too, and courage, resolve and tenderness.  For everyone who is interested in Palestine and Israel, this is a conversation for you.  Nathan Thrall with David McWilliams

Starting with the origin of life and how we as a species evolved on the plains of Africa some 200,000 years ago, Professor Luke explores what makes us interesting as a species, why we sleep, laugh and enjoy music, and our efforts to stop disease. He also ponders whether we will create superhumans, how and why we age, if we can escape death and whether our eventual extinction is inevitable. With Luke’s trademark infectious enthusiasm – and plenty of laughs... Read More

Since the war in Ukraine, the “Russians” have become a pariah race. We are told there are  “Russians” around every corner and assassins in every city. They are behind every hacking, scandal, crisis, and so on. These “Russians” helped Donald Trump win the US Presidential Election. These “Russians” wish to undermine democracy, humiliate the West, invade Europe, fan the horrors of war, and overall be the monsters that they are indefinitely. The media, the politicians, and the public are so... Read More

Our ancestors developed a uniquely nature-focused society, centred on esteemed poets, seers, monks, healers and wise women who were deeply connected to the land. They used this connection to the cycles of the natural world – from which we are increasingly dissociated – as an animating force in their lives. Manchán Magan journeys through bogs, across rivers and over mountains, to trace our ancestor’s footsteps, uncovering ancient myths that have shaped our national identity. Manchán Magan with Madeleine Keane €20

The true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich — and how America looked the other way. Many of them continue to control swathes of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe, brands like Daimler-Benz, Allianz, Porsche, Volkswagen, and BMW. David de Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave labourers, and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler’s army –... Read More

From Shakespeare to George Bernard Shaw, Nora Barnacle to Virginia Woolf, our four guest writers have written outstanding biographies on outstanding people.

James Shapiro, Fintan O’Toole, Nuala O’Connor with Merve Emre €20

David Brooks of The New York Times is probably the most influential commentator in America. He returns to Dalkey to explain the critical art of seeing others. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something larger in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them and what kind of... Read More

Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behaviour. As we probe deeper into the mechanics of decision making, some conclude that free will is an illusion but leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces – we are agents acting with purpose. Traversing billions of years of evolution, living beings capable of choice arose from lifeless matter. Mitchell’s argument has important implications — for how we understand decision-making, how our... Read More

We are less than a year out from the most important election in decades.

Its politicians seem most interested in their own careers, and much of the media only makes things worse. The country is almost unrecognisable from the one that existed a decade ago. But whose fault is it really? Who broke Britain and how did they do it? Bold and incisive as ever, James O’Brien reveals the shady network of influence that has... Read More

For well over two centuries, Americans of all stripes — presidents and activists, soldiers and writers, conservatives and liberals alike — have turned to Shakespeare’s works to explore the nation’s fault lines. What can Shakespeare, as relevant now as he was 400 years ago, tell us about America’s past and present? Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro sits down with Fintan O’Toole.

Winner of the Irish Book of the Year, the Orwell Prize and Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2022, Sally Hayden’s My Fourth Time, We Drowned is a masterpiece. It is a staggering investigation into the migrant crisis across North Africa.

Over the course of seven difficult years Miriam Mulcahy lost her mother, father and sister, each grief threatening to drown her. But instead of... Read More

‘Palestinians stand at the threshold of humanity, sometimes invited, but not always’, says Karim Kattan, a writer born in Jerusalem. Just after the assault on Gaza began, Kattan was asked by the organisers of a literary festival to ‘refrain from mentioning the current situation and leave the political dimension out of the talk to avoid any eruption’. This is how Palestinians are silenced, their voice is conditional, their suffering qualified. This is what it feels to be Palestinian in polite... Read More

The easiest to read but maybe the hardest to write, satire speaks truth not power, bringing the pompous down a peg or six with humour, exaggeration and witty social observations that make the readers deliciously complicit in the joke. Yet it’s almost impossible to achieve.  A Swiftian romp through the fine art of satire.  Robert Shrimsley, Kathy Lette and Colm Williamson with Colm O’Regan €20

“Since he published his first novel, The South in 1990, Colm has written eleven more books of fiction. He has also published three reported books, three collections of essays, dozens of introductions to other writers’ work, prefaces to art catalogues, an opera libretto, plays, poems, and so many reviews that it’s surprising when a week goes by and he hasn’t been in at least one of the New York, London, or Dublin papers” – so opened a New Yorker profile...

The Wa’s self-sufficiency derives from one of their top exports, methamphetamine, which they produce with such knee-weakening efficiency that, frankly, they make me want to... Read More

Described by The Guardian as maybe her best novel yet, The Wren, The Wren is, like so much of Enright’s work, a supple scrutiny of familial relationships – in this case the fraught love between Nell and her mother, Carmel.

As she sets out into the world, she finds her... Read More

From the death of Bach in 1750 to the rise of Hitler in 1933, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among western nations into Europe’s dominant intellectual and cultural force. By 1900, German artists, writers, philosophers, scientists, and engineers were leading their freshly-unified country. By 1933, they had won more Nobel prizes than anyone else and more than the British and Americans combined. But this genius was cut down in its prime with the rise and subsequent fall of... Read More

Ireland needs a reset. We have so much talent and so much money now, but we appear hampered by indecision. The country has never been richer but politics and society are divided.

From Coolock to Cannes, Rotherham to Rotterdam, Berlin to Budapest, and Bologna, Europe is swinging to the Right. Immigration and anaemic economic growth have made nationalism, populism, and nativism more attractive, particularly for young men.

Robert Shrimsley, David de Jong, Bill Emmott, with Finn McRedmond, chaired... Read More

From the origins of our species to the development of religion and language and... Read More

Join this lively, upbeat, often hilarious panel discussion with three women, who have all experienced reinvention in their 50s. From a... Read More

The Berlin Wall, Belfast’s Peace Walls and Jerusalem’s Separation Barrier, known in Arabic as the Wall of Apartheid, reflect a dramatic failure of politics, vision and tolerance. The Berlin Wall tried to keep people in and ideas out, Belfast’s peace walls, most of which have been built since the Troubles, tried to keep the lid on sectarian killings, while the West Bank barrier represents the complete failure of the Oslo Accords. All succeed in creating the “other” over the Wall,... Read More

Gaza is in ruins, and the risk of a wider conflict with Iran increases by the day, dragging in the entire region. In Ukraine, Russia is winning and Europe could be at its mercy, while China has explicitly stated that the reintegration of Taiwan (read invasion) is a national objective. On one side is the American alliance, on the other a loose axis of China. Russia and Iran. What does this mean for us, what are the historical parallels and... Read More
