Guest author: Helen Cullen
Tonight join Kellie in conversation with the Irish author Helen Cullen. We’ll be taking a look at the representation of motherhood in fiction and delving into the different forms literary motherhood might take. From the ‘perfect mother’ on her pedestal to the negligent or absent mother - what do we want to write when we write about motherhood? How does a writer develop the role of the mother to create a dynamic character-in-action with agency and drive? Helen Cullen’s second novel The Truth Must Dazzle Gradually reconfigures the cultural meaning of the iconic “Irish Mammy” while exploring societal changes experienced in Ireland in recent years through the lens of one family.
