Acontecimientos literarios y culturales en Irlanda. Informe anual –2020

Resumen

As this is the year remarkable for all the things that did not happen, it is important to remember, and to prize, all those literary, artistic and cultural events which did happen – often against great odds. And, just as there was stark inequity in the fortunes of different kinds of businesses during the pandemic, some areas of cultural activity fared far better than others. Publishing and book selling has had to adjust to our new reality, and although the cherished Irish tradition of the book launch has gone the way of live theatre, cinema-going and indoor concerts, the book trade flourishes. As do the prize giving processes.
