Djamel White: Is he the next great Irish writer? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Djamel White could be forgiven for being distracted but he is ready and focused for our early morning chat, having already put in an hour or two at his desk, working on the follow-up to his debut novel, All Them Dogs.

Julian Lloyd-Webber: Cancer-free and looking forward to playing in Ireland again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In October 2013, Julian Lloyd Webber had to face the unimaginable prospect that his career as a performer was over.
