Gatsby has become more than just a novel, but instead an exploration of what literature can mean.

Bowen’s eyes peer incongruously out from Ancestors, a new work by Debbie Godsell that features in her superb exhibition Flail. It opened today at Uillinn in Skibbereen with a conversation between Godsell and @cristinleach.bsky.social, followed by the rousing performance of a specially composed hymn.

A close up of Bowen's eyes in the artwork in our last repost from Michael Waldron.
‘The rector loved all insects, and was said to encourage the ingress of wasps to church; he had a sharp sense of the sins of society, and sometimes he used to denounce us from the pulpit.’
A recollection of St Colman’s Church, Farahy by #ElizabethBowen, who died #onthisday in 1973.
