Athair/Father by Crìsdean MacIlleBhàin

27 November 2024 6:30 pm

Christopher Whyte will be reading in Gaelic and in English translation from his tenth collection Athair/Father, which considers sexual abuse by a trusted family member with startling frankness and sensitivity.

Christopher Whyte is a Gaelic poet with many accolades. After a distinguished academic career teaching Scottish and Gaelic literature in Rome, Edinburgh and Glasgow, he moved to Budapest, Hungary in 2006, where he writes full-time. His work is characterised by its innovative, at times provocative, subject-matter, and by the resolute adoption of a European perspective.

This event will be in English and Gaelic.
