SUMMARY:George Hamilton Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:  \nNo Alibis is delighted to host an evening celebrating the launch of George Hamilton’s latest book ‘The Hamilton Notes’ with special guest speaker Connor Phillips. Join us in the Crescent Arts Centre for what is sure to be a fantastic evening. This event is free of charge but be sure to reserve a ticket to avoid disappointment. Tickets available here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/no-alibis-bookstore-ltd/t-eaydaea \nThe incomparable George Hamilton returns with a superb offering of travails and anecdotes spanning his five decades on our airwaves and on our screens\, always at the heart of Irish culture.\nPicking up where his first offering\, The Nation Holds Its Breath\, left off\, George continues to illuminate the path that took him from the Cregagh Road in Belfast to the most extraordinary locations across the world. Whether going behind the scenes of his beloved Lyric FM show or reliving the dramatic events of the 100-metre final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics\, the reader will be captivated once more by George’s storytelling as he expertly weaves tales and paints the most evocative pictures.\nSport\, music and travel are intertwined throughout – George’s love for all three evident on every page. His writing style is consistently surprising; the reader is never quite certain where George is taking them but few will be able to resist being caught up in the stories and going along for the ride.

SUMMARY:The Forest Yet to Come by Sam Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special event to launch the third and final instalment of the Wolfstongue series by Sam Thompson. \nReserve your FREE space here. \n‘Once you start\, you can’t turn back. Deep in the Forest is a cave\, and in the cave is a chamber\, and in the chamber are the dreams. They could yet come true.’ \nFaolan and Sally have no memory of their lives before they arrived at the Land ten years ago. In this self-sufficient community\, good fortune comes from mysterious beings known as the shapes\, and no one is to venture into the Forest; a dangerous place full of fearsome wolves. When a strange gentleman named Reynard emerges from the Forest\, he quickly befriends Faolan and Sally. \nBut the community are both suspicious and enthralled by his storytelling. In the wake of a terrible attack\, the shapes seem to abandon their people. Faolan flees into the Forest seeking the wolves that have always fascinated him\, and Reynard and Sally are banished. \nTheir pursuit of Faolan leads them to uncover many mysteries. As they are drawn further in\, the community they once knew begins to fracture. There is no keeping the Forest out any longer\, and nothing will ever be the same again. \nBook your free ticket at the Ticketsource event link below.

SUMMARY:How Banksy Saved Art History by Kelly Grovier - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Us For A Book Launch with Kelly Grovier \nBook your Free space HERE \n  \nA new take on the history of art – from da Vinci to Warhol – as reinterpreted and ultimately reinforced by the international phenomenon that is Banksy. Few would dispute that Banksy is the most famous urban artist in the world today. That he is also one of the most perceptive art historians of our age might come as a surprise to many. But the myriad memorable works he has created over the past thirty years constitute an audacious commentary on the history of image-making – a captivating critique waiting to be pieced together. Armed with little more than stencils\, spray paint and an anonymizing cloak of after-hours darkness\, Banksy has forged an alluring identity for himself as an incorrigible prankster who doesn’t embrace tradition but shreds it. What actually illuminates Banksy’s audacious murals\, impromptu urban sculptures and vandalized paintings\, however\, is a profound understanding of the story of art. Banksy recasts masterpieces as powerful comments on contemporary issues: climate change\, consumerism and the struggle for peace\, and reveals these works to be surprisingly elastic\, resilient and relevant. In this fully illustrated and entertaining exploration\, bestselling author Kelly Grovier traces art history through Banksy’s lens\, presenting many of his most recognizable works: from his droll lampooning of the Lascaux cave paintings to his reinvention of Monet’s enchanting water-lily pond\, a reboot of Géricault’s tragic gut-wrenching vision to Vermeer’s girl now instilled with street cred\, everyone’s genius is grist for his unmerciful mill. Far from being diminished in their significance\, however\, the works that Banksy ruthlessly parodies are ultimately refurbished by the ordeal. Banksy’s iconoclastic works force us to rethink our affection for\, and appreciation of\, great works of art that define cultural history.\nKelly Grovier is a columnist and feature writer for BBC Culture\, and his writings on art have appeared in the Times Literary Supplement\, the Independent\, The Sunday Times\, the Observer\, RA Magazine and Wired. \n\nKelly Grovier is the author of several books\, including A New Way of Seeing: The History of Art in 57 Works (2018)\, On the Line: Conversations with Sean Scully (2021) and The Art of Colour (2023)\, all published by Thames & Hudson. He is co-founder of the scholarly journal European Romantic Review.

SUMMARY:Juliana Adelman Book Event

But\, as Peakin draws closer\, he begins to realise that not all is as it seems.\nEveryone related to the case is hiding something\, while his own secrets threaten to bubble to the surface. The river binds these Dubliners together\, but who will it divide in the end? And will Peakin actually solve this most shocking\, ordinary and desperate of crimes?The Grateful Water – sticky with blood and secrets and guilt – will suck you in until the last page.

SUMMARY:Ghosts of a Family by Edward Burke - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Ghosts of a Family : Ireland’s Most Infamous Unsolved Murder\, the Outbreak of the Civil War and the Origins of the Modern Troubles\nBy Edward Burke\n \nPlease RSVP to \ninfo@merrionpress.ie \nAt 1.20 a.m. on 24 March 1922\, five men\, four dressed in British police uniforms\, broke into the North Belfast house of Owen McMahon\, a well-known Catholic publican. They fatally shot McMahon\, four of his sons and Eddie McKinney\, an employee of the family. Nobody was ever charged for these ruthless and cold-blooded murders. \nIn retaliation for these and other Belfast murders\, the IRA assassinated the former head of the British Army\, Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson\, and a subsequent British ultimatum to the Irish government sparked the first salvos of the Irish Civil War days later. The reluctance of the unionist Belfast government to pursue loyalist killers drove the rift between Northern Ireland’s two main communities even deeper\, laying the foundations for the Troubles at the end of the twentieth century. \nOver 100 years later\, Edward Burke has expertly uncovered the identity of the McMahons’ likely murderer. This is a riveting cold-case investigation that invokes the smoke-filled streets of Belfast during the cataclysmic violence of 1920–22\, and explores how the ramifications of the McMahon killings are still being felt to this day. \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nDr Edward Burke is a historian at University College Dublin\, specialising in the study of political violence\, insurgencies and paramilitarism. His previous books are An Army of Tribes: British Army Cohesion\, Deviancy and Murder in Northern Ireland (Liverpool\, 2018) and Ulster’s Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920 (Cambridge\, 2024). \n

Tickets available here https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/no-alibis-bookstore-ltd/t-avmrjjr \nIf the past is another country – what happens when we revisit it\, one day a year?\nCarlo Gébler has done just that. Here is the story of Ireland – from the tail end of the Troubles to the Good Friday agreement\, to the glory days of the Celtic Tiger to the recession to Brexit and on to the present\, where\, it appears\, everything we thought we could take for granted is no longer a given.\nDrawing from journals he has kept for over four decades\, Gébler stitches together days of his life into something bigger than his own lived experiences – a vivid patchwork history of the island over thirty-five years\, capturing those sweeping changes in sharp\, funny\, slantwise pieces that will prompt readers to reflect on the strange process of how we got here.\nThis intelligent and affectionate compilation\, written in Gébler’s sparkling prose\, is a joy.

SUMMARY:Phil Harrison Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in No Alibis Bookstore to celebrate the launch of Phil Harrison’s new book Silverback\, for what is sure to be a wonderful evening. This event is free of charge so book now to avoid disappointment.Tickets are available at the link below: \nBook your Free ticket Here \n \nIn a Belfast courtroom Robert Rusting is on trial for the murder of his father\, a former loyalist hardman. On the jury is James Fechner\, a middle-aged surgeon in search of meaning in the hushed rooms of justice\, inexplicably drawn to the younger man before him. After trial\, Fechner can’t quite return to life before those days in court. \nIn dingy pubs and rowdy boxing halls Fechner inserts himself into Rusting’s world in another guise\, following a compulsive pull to an aggressive\, unapologetic way of life. So begins a close friendship\, a relationship in which a battle for control is tacit but unspoken – and explosive. Silverback is a powerful portrayal of the complications of masculinity and of the line between fragility and violence told in an unforgettable voice. \n

SUMMARY:Aimée Walsh Book Launch - Exile
DESCRIPTION:Book a free ticket here \nLeaving home was hard. Returning is impossible. Fiadh’s life is turned completely upside down on a night out in Belfast. \nPretty soon everyone has heard about what happened; it is impossible to keep the rumours from spreading\, the gossip from spiralling out of control. And just as she was beginning to finally figure everything out: she was feeling positive about her move to Liverpool\, she was starting to get on top of her uni work and had made some new friends. Now her life is in freefall and Fiadh is helpless to do anything about it. \nShe starts missing assignment deadlines\, stops turning up to class and doesn’t respond to any of her friends’ messages. Her nights revolve around random hook ups\, fuelled by drink and drugs. Without the tightknit group of friends she left behind at home or the support of the new friends she has made in Liverpool\, Fiadh’s life quickly descends into chaos\, a chaos that nearly costs her everything. \nPre-order a signed copy of the book here: \nExile – SIGNED \n \nAimée Walsh is a writer from Belfast.\nHer debut novel Exile will be published by John Murray Press in May 2024. It has been listed as a highly anticipated release by The Irish Times\, Dazed\, and the Journal\, amongst others. \nIn 2023\, Walsh was longlisted for the London Magazine Short Story Prize.\nHer short fiction\, non-fiction\, and book criticism has appeared in The Irish Times\, The Observer\, RTÉ Culture\, Extra Teeth\, Dazed\, Refinery29 (US\, Germany\, Australia\, and UK)\, and The Independent (UK\, Spain\, and Ireland).\nIn Spring 2022\, she was a participant in the Faber Academy short story workshop ran by Lucy Caldwell.

SUMMARY:Mícheál McCann Book Launch - Devotion
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin us for a book launch of Mícheál McCann’s debut collection ‘Devotion’. \nYou can pre-order the book on our website here  \nBook your free ticket on TicketSource here \nAt the heart of Mícheál McCann’s eagerly awaited first collection is ‘Keen for A— ’\, a re-imagining of Eileen O’Connell’s heartrending Lament for Art O’Leary. In Devotion the poet transports the original tragedy in time and place. Echoing the 18th-century Irish\, it lives now in contemporary Belfast where a young man’s male lover is murdered. The sequence charts from premonition\, in filmic scenes\, the first encounter\, the news\, denial\, rage (and an oath of vengeance) to the funeral and A—’s family’s chilling silence afterwards. \nOther poems range from memories of childhood and relationships with parents to the author’s own imaginary child. There is a wry poem on animal homosexuality\, others on sea swimming and the satisfactions of a shared meal\, while an elegiac poem recreates the final joy of an RUC Constable in a gay bar before he’s shot by a member of the INLA. \nFor all the solemnity of its subject matter love poems leaven its atmosphere as Mícheál McCann’s debut glows with the sense of someone who knows he has ‘discovered the name of his destination’. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Trudie Gorman Book Launch - Trust the Damage
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Book Launch with Trudie Gorman to celebrate the publication of Trust The Damage. \nFree Tickets Here \n \nIn Trust the Damage\, her deeply intimate debut poetry collection\, Trudie Gorman explores the connection between class\, poverty\, and illness. Journeying from a council estate in the 90s to the fractured ecosystem of the present day\, she contends with the grief of losing her body to illness\, whilst also finding hope and connection. \n \nThe body in all of its morphisms is the main character here\, while memory\, legacy\, violence against women\, healthcare\, working-class culture and love ripple through the collection in vibrant coexistence. The poems are at once visceral and unflinching in their depictions\, yet always stretch towards the light\, capturing what it means for a life to bloom in the dark. \nWe kindly ask all attending to wear a face mask\, if possible. Kind thanks for your understanding

Inch by inch\, Catherine Gander explores the anatomy of abuse\, allowing the reader to inhabit the darkest and loneliest of places with her.

It testifies to the chilling realities of intimate partner abuse\, failed escape-routes and quiet\, everyday attempts at survival. Gander is a fearless voice\, skilfully crafting and elevating wounded experience out of a hidden place into a new home lit by language. How grateful I am that such a poet exists\, persisting against silence\, insisting upon difficult truths. Here is a book\, like a sharp balm\, that stings\, calms\, and transforms.’ – Annemarie Ní Churreáin \n  \nCatherine Gander was born in England and now lives in Ireland.
