• May Book Club: ”Glorious Exploits” by Ferdia Lennon

  • When
    21 May 2025
  •  
    18:00 - 19:30
  • Location
    Wirströms Pub, Gamla stan, Stockholm ( downstairs)

  After three rounds of tense voting, Ferdia Lennon’s Glorious Exploits (2024) emerged from Aishling’s nominations as our next book club pick.

  Set in 412 BC, Glorious Exploits  takes us to the Sicilian city of Syracuse in the middle of the Peloponnesian War, where two unemployed potters with strong Irish accents decide to stage Euripides’ Medea among a quarry full of thousands of Athenian prisoners.

  Narrated by Lampo, ‘a cheerfully indifferent bullshitter’ according to one reviewer, Lennon’s novel combines raucous comedy with the pitch-black tragedy of wartime suffering. It was the Winner of the Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction and nominee or winner of numerous debut novel awards.

  Join us as we unpick the Euripides from the Dublinese, and for the most important vote you’ll cast this year as Deirdre nominates three books for our next meeting!

  Welcome!
  No registration necessary.
