This week we're travelling to Dublin to meet the wonderful author, poet, journalist and podcaster Sarah Maria Griffin. Sarah's first book, Not Lost was an essay collection concerning a year spent in San Francisco. She then authored the critically acclaimed novels Spare and Found Parts and Other Words for Smoke. We talked to her about pilgrimages, the importance of helping others, video games and the amazing array of Irish women writers currently working.BOOK (CLICK ON TITLES FOR MORE)Daisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodSarah Maria Griffin - Not LostSarah Maria Griffin - Found and Spare PartsSarah Maria Griffin - Other Words For SmokeAoife Dooley - How to Deal with Poxes Shanny Jean Maney - I Love ScienceAnthony Bourdain - Hungry GhostsAnthony Bourdain - Kitchen ConfidentialMFK Fisher - Consider the OysterErin Morgenstern - The Night CircusMaeve Higgins - Maeve in AmericaEmilie Pine - Notes to SelfSinead Gleeson - ConstellationsDeirdre Sullivan - Tangleweed and BrineMoira Fowley-Doyle - The Accident SeasonJune Caldwell - Little Town MooneLouise O’Neill - The Surface BreaksEimear McBride - A Girl Is a Half-formed ThingSara Baume - A Line Made by WalkingCaroline O’Donoghue - Promising Young WomenDorothy Macardle - The UninvitedTana French - In The WoodsLorrie Moore - Who Will Run The Frog HospitalBelinda McKeon - TenderBelinda McKeon - SolaceDave Rudden - 12 Angels WeepingSarah Davis Goff - Last Ones Left AliveDouglas Coupland - Life After GodDouglas Coupland - Bit RotDouglas Coupland - Generation XGlen David Gold - Carter Beats the DevilDouglas Coupland - MicroserfsJilly Cooper - RidersC.
