Talks at Google welcomes Irish novelist and Xoogler, Caoilinn Hughes. She will read from her novel “Orchid & the Wasp”. Her novel has been praised by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Anthony Doerr as ‘a gorgeous novel told in an onrush of wit and ferocity that will rattle your most basic assumptions about money, ambition and the nature of love' and also by Booker-winner, John Banville as ‘an ambitious, richly inventive and highly entertaining account of the way we live now’. Interviewed by novelist and Googler Helen Cullen, this lively literary conversation covers the craft of writing, Hughes' journey to publication and the inspiration behind this novel and its themes; including the fallacy of meritocracy, egalitarianism, systems of exploitation, privilege and ambition in neoliberal capitalism, and familial duty and love's resilience amidst downward mobility.
