Listen: Deepti Kapoor talks to Ryan Tubridy
An instant New York Times bestseller, and the Good Morning America Book Club pick for January 2023, Age Of Vice was the subject of a 20-way bidding war for the TV rights, which eventually went to FX, the network behind Sons Of Anarchy and American Horror Story, amongst numerous other hits.
Other events at the Arts & Minds Festival include a performance by Irish Folk Award-winning duo Ye Vagabonds, Irish National Opera in Concert with soprano Anna Devin, mezzo-soprano Sharon Carthy, bass-baritone Gianluca Margheri, and pianist Finghin Collins, and a Literary Lounge programme that includes readings by author Nicole Flattery plus poets Seán Hewitt and Lauren Lawler, and an Irish-language interdisciplinary arts event in honour of the famous Lament for Art O'Leary - find out more about this year's programme here.
