Paul Lynch: From film critic to full-time writer
Paul Lynch has gone from being a film critic at Irish newspapers to a full-time novelist and now a Booker Prize-winning author.
The writer, who lives in Dublin, was honoured for his fifth novel, Prophet Song.
Born in Limerick in 1977, Lynch said he sees himself similar to other authors from Ireland as “global writers, rather than just Irish domestic audience writers”.
He has written for the about cinema as well as being the chief film critic of the Sunday Tribune from 2007 to 2011 before the Irish newspaper closed.
