Join us for a
virtual discussion of our July title,
Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe, continuing our look at the genre of true crime as a platform for bearing witness with another example of narrative nonfiction journalism at its best. "O land of password, handgrip, wink and nod," Seamus Heaney wrote in a poem about the Troubles called
Whatever You Say, Say Nothing. In 1972, Jean McConville, mother of ten, became one of the "Disappeared" during the violent guerrilla war in Northern Ireland. Keefe uses McConville's story as a lens to focus on the unresolved tensions, silences, and betrayals of this conflict and its lasting effects today.
