Jack Harte is an Irish writer and novelist, a story teller, the founder of the Irish Writer’s Center - an organisation whose mission is to support and promote writers at all stages of their development. He is also the author of 'Rehabilitating The Serpent', a novel that analyses religions back to their origins, through the medium of short stories. In his talk Harte draws from both experiences to illustrate and interrogate the gap that always seems to grow between the original purpose or impulse to organise and the resultant administrative body.
Jack Harte was born in Co Sligo, in the west of Ireland, and has worked at a number of occupations in Dublin, where he still lives. He was a teacher and wrote 24 top selling school textbooks; he was also a School Principal. His short story collections include 'Murphy in the Underworld' (1986), 'Birds and Other Tails' (1996), 'From Under Gogol's Nose' (2004), and 'Rehabilitating the Serpent' (2017). A novella 'Homage' appeared in 1992. His first novel 'Reflections in a Tar-Barrel' (2006) was the first literary work to be commissioned under the Irish Government's Per Cent for Art Scheme, and was nominated in Des Kenny's book as one of the 101 Irish Books You Must Read. His second novel 'Reflections in a Tar-Barrel' (2007) was first published in Bulgaria where it was a major success. Overall his fiction has appeared in 12 languages. Harte made his debut as a playwright in 2015 with Language of the Mute (New Theatre) which toured nationally in 2016. This was followed by The Mysterious History of Things (Viking Theatre, July/August 2016) and Lugh and Balor which was performed in Greek translation at the Ancient Theatre of Maroneia and the Theatre of Komotini in Greece (August/September 2016).
