The City Changes Its Face: Eimear McBride in conversation – The Assembly House, Norwich

Celebrate the publication of multi-award-winning author Eimear McBride’s brand new novel The City Changes Its Face.

Eimear will be in conversation with Henry Layte of The Book Hive — who discovered and published Eimear’s first book, A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing, which explores a passionate love affair tested to its limits.

A Girl is a Half-formed Thing took nine years to find a publisher and subsequently received a number of awards, including the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year, and the Goldsmiths Prize. Her second novel The Lesser Bohemians won the 2017 James Tait Memorial Prize, and was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize and the International Dublin Literary Award. In 2017 she was awarded the inaugural Creative Fellowship of the Beckett Research Centre, University of Reading. In a 2018 Times Literary Supplement poll of 200 critics, academics and fiction writers, McBride was named one of the ten best British and Irish novelists writing today.

This event is made possible by the generosity of the Assembly House Trust.
