Saturdays in October
This October one of Dublin’s most extraordinary authors is coming home. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, who was also known as Koizumi Yakumo, is celebrated both in New Orleans – where he is credited with “inventing” New Orleans as a mysterious place in popular culture – and in Japan, where his ghost stories and folktales made him one of the country’s most famous writers. There he enjoys a reputation far beyond any other Irish writer. Yet he is virtually unknown here in his hometown. Who knew!
To celebrate this exhibition, there is a free programme of classes and workshops for children and families. This month why not try learning some Japanese?
