The Singularity, Balsam Karam’s second novel, and Though the Bodies Fall, Noel O’Regan’s debut, both grapple with the idea of loss and the internal struggles of their characters as they come to terms with what they have witnessed. Though the Bodies Fall follows one man’s journey through depression, trauma and absence. The Singularity is an astounding study of grief, migration and motherhood.

Join Balsam and Noel in conversation with Martin Doyle.
