His novel, The Heart in Winter, sees Barry return to his inimitable blend of poetic precision, pitch-dark wit, and haunting emotional depth, all set against the raw, atmospheric landscape of the American West in the late 19th century.

In this special evening, Kevin will reflect on the inspirations behind The Heart of Winter, exploring the intersections of memory, love, isolation, and the uncanny that characterise so much of his work. He’ll speak candidly about his creative process, the people and places that spark his imagination, as well as answer any questions you might have for him.
