Ep.80: Language, home and fitting in, with Patrick Holloway

Ep.80: Language, home and fitting in, with Patrick Holloway

This episode of the podcast features the writer Patrick Holloway, whose debut novel, “The Language of Remembering” was released earlier this year. The book tells two parallel stories: the first is set “Now” and details Oisín’s return from Brazil with his wife and daughter and his reconnection with his mother Brigid, who is suffering with early onset Alzheimer’s. The second, “Then” details Brigid’s early life in the same small town, as she deals with an unexpected pregnancy. Patrick himself lived in Brazil and pursued a Masters and PhD in Creative Writing and he has produced poems and short stories that have also explored themes of language, belonging and grief.
