For one evening only one of the most significant writers today, Anne Enright, the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction and the internationally acclaimed, Booker Prize-winning author joins the Irish Arts Center to read from her newest book The Green Road--a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion-a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them.
