Podcast: Authors John Patrick McHugh and Clara Kumagai at UCC

7 May 2026

Listen back to the latest reading in our Creative Writing Event Series

On Thursday 26 March, John Patrick McHugh and Clara Kumagai, two of Ireland's most exciting young novelists, gave a public reading at the Creative Zone in the Boole Library. Hosted by lecturer Eimear Ryan, the reading was part of the Creative Writing Reading Series, which invites authors to UCC's campus for public events throughout the academic year. Other authors who participated in the series in the academic year 25/26 include incoming writer in residence Dean Browne, Issa Quincy, Rosamund Taylor and Jeff Young.

Many thanks to our colleague Dave Hackett, Programme and Events Co-Ordinator at the library, for recording this episode of the UCC Library Podcast! Listen back below or on your podcast app.
