Lisa McInerney

Lisa, whose own website describes her as creator of ‘fitful short stories and…the occasional gourmet crisp sandwich’, is the author of Los Pecados Gloriosos, Weergaloze Dwalingen and Hérésies Glorieuses, which will give some indication of the outstanding success of her first novel The Glorious Heresies (it’s also been translated into German, Czech, Polish, Danish, Italian and American). Lisa is probably the most persuasive argument in favour of blogging, because that’s where she started. But with the publication of the award-winning The Glorious Heresies and her recent follow-up The Blood Miracles Lisa is channelling her creativity into the writing of some of the best fiction to come out of Ireland since the invention of…well, blogging. If we talk nicely to her she may also offer a workshop on making the perfect crisp butty.
