n this episode of Point of View I have the great privilege of talking to Irish writer Nuala O'Connor, who is a prolific novelist, short story writer and poet, her latest and sixth novel 'Seaborne,' based on the life of 18th-century Irish pirate Anne Bonny, about whom much fake, fictional, fantastical stuff was written which gave Nuala  a lot of freedom to invent.'  Nuala has a talent for bringing to the page  with her powerful imagination the lives of  maverick women , in Miss Emily that of Emily Dickinson, in Nora published in 2022 she conjures in sensuous and resonant prose the definitive portrait of Nora Barnacle, the strong , indomitable, passionate wife and muse of James Joyce , named one of the best books of historical fiction by the New York Times, Nuala also talks openly about her recent diagnosis with autism and how it has provided clarity and self compassion and a sense of calm and joy..  inhale that sea air and prepare to voyage with Nuala as she reads from Seaborne ..

On this week's episode of Point of View with me Anne O Neill, I talk to Daragh O Malley the  Irish actor, director, and producer. O'Malley is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Patrick Harper in the series Sharpe (1993–2009) starring with Sean Bean although O'Malley has appeared in a number of other films, major television shows, and stage productions throughout his career in the UK and in the US.My own favourite being his appearance in the cult classic Withnail and I starring Richard E Grant  and Paul McGann, where Daragh plays the Irishman in the pub who utters "Perfumed Ponce" and intimidates Withnail and Marwood ,a moment now immortalised in gifs and on youtube , Daragh is a man of many stories , he is the son of Donagh O Malley. the Irish T.D who brought in free education, a game changer for this nation and his mother was the dark haired beauty from Dingle who inspired Patrick Kavanagh to write Raglan Road among other poems, in Part one of this chat we talk about his parents and their influence on Irish life and culture
Caroline Magennis joins me to discuss her new book Harpy:A Manifesto for Childfree Women, she is so refreshingly honest and humourous in her discussion on this devisive subject . Vogue magazine's rave review..'Amid a flood of sensationalist headlines about declining birth rates, Caroline Magennis's Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women (Icon Books, £19) is a tonic: a tongue-in-cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition-style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family, with references to everything from Prime Suspect to Sheila Heti’s Motherhood.’
