Last night.

Hodges Figgis, Dawson Street, Dublin 2.

The launch of The Emerald Dress by Vivienne Kearns – Set in modern day Dublin and the city in Swift’s time mixing “fashion, mystery, feminism and romance”.

Peter O’Connell writes:

It was a particularly fitting venue for Kearns, who told the packed launch: ‘I never thought when I worked at Hodges Figgis twenty years ago that I would one day be launching my novel at the store’

In fairness.

“I was asked to do an illustration in the Hodges Figgis Dawson Street window for the launch of my new book Fintan’s Fifteen [unveiled at MCM Comic whatsit], the story of the worst U12s hurling team in Ireland (tagline: You’ll laugh, you’ll cry …you’ll hurl!” Out now from the O’Brien Press in all good booksellers) which I did with the help of the very talented 6th class kids Griffeen Valley Educate Together National School, Lucan. The window display will be up for two weeks. All photos of me looking smug by Fennell Photography.”
