The Bookshelf Easter Special: Irish writer Niall Williams

Irish writer Niall Williams with Kate Evans at the 2025 Adelaide Writers Week — with a focus on his Faha novels, History of the Rain, This is Happiness and (his latest) Time of the Child.

Williams is also a screenwriter, playwright and travel writer — and his first novel, Four Letters of Love, has just been released as a film.

He also appeared onstage at AWW with Kate and Cassie, for a special edition of the Bookshelf on books, reading, and influences, with English writer Charlotte Mendelsohn and Australian writer Brian Castro.
