AN
EVENING WITH
Author Emma Donoghue

‘A dark fairy tale… curiously uplifting.’ —VOGUE |
Nominated for the 2010 Man Booker Prize for Fiction in July 2010.
(published September 2010 from Little, Brown)
Welcome to the strange little world of Room, where Jack and Ma live in a locked
room that measures eleven foot by eleven. When Jack turns five, he starts
to ask questions, and his mother reveals to him that there is a world outside.
Told entirely in Jack’s voice, Room is no horror story or tearjerker,
but a celebration of resilience and the love between parent and child.
Join us for an evening with Irish-born novelist Emma Donoghue (Slammerkin) as
she reads from her newest novel, Room, in the Donaghy Theater.
