Joseph O’Connor

Joseph O’Connor is an Irish novelist from Dublin who spent years as a journalist before fiction brought him international readers. He wrote for the Sunday Tribune and Esquire, work that taught him how to find a story in ordinary moments. He still contributes to RTÉ and is a member of Aosdána, the Irish academy of artists. His path to writing books was not sudden but built on a steady career of observing people and their lives.
