Louise O'Neill: A Bigger Life


Wednesday, 30 September 2026
About this event
Dublin Book Festival is delighted to present an evening with award-winning author Louise O’Neill to celebrate her new memoir, A Bigger Life. At 38, Louise had the life she thought she wanted—until her long-term relationship ended, taking with it the home, future, and sense of certainty she’d built. Part memoir, part manifesto, A Bigger Life is a candid, courageous and funny look at dating, desire, rebuilding ourselves after heartbreak, and the radical act of wanting more.
Join us for an evening of reflection, insight and uplifting humour as we consider the question at the heart of the book: What does it really mean to live a bigger life? Louise will join author Sophie White in conversation.
