A firm festival favourite – 10 Books never disappoints. This year we’ve invited writer and journalist Katy Hayes to chair our authors’ passionate recommendations. Not to be missed.

Her best-selling and prize-winning books include: The Stone Carvers, The Whirlpool, which won France’s prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger; Away won the Trillium Award and was shortlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award; and The Underpainter won Canada’s The Governor General’s Award. Carlo Gébler’s most recent publications are The Projectionist, the Story of Ernest Gébler, The Wing Orderly’s Tales, a collection of stories told by a prison orderly, and The Innocent of Falkland Road, a novel set in London in the 1960s. He teaches at Trinity and the American College, Dublin, and is a member of Aosdána. Katy Hayes, as well as being a novelist and short-story writer, is the theatre critic with The Irish Independent.
